2. Incident & Crisis Management
Incidents, such as money laundering, workplace discrimination, HR, GDPR violations, bribery, employee fraud insider trading, accounting irregularities, management misconduct, market abuse, health & safety breaches, harassment, theft, vandalism, and insecure situations need a certain type of action.
Crises, in turn, often have a deeper impact and can be about everything. Regardless of what is needed, a prepared and planned incident management crisis management, if and when, an incident happens.
3. Labour disputes
If there are reasonable grounds to believe that the whistleblower’s information is true at the time of
reporting and the information falls within the scope of the Whistleblowing Directive as in force in
Greece, the Greek State must protect against potential retaliation the persons who correctly internally or externally reported or publicly disclosed such information.
Thus, all legal entities must refrain from any kind of retaliation prompted by (internal or external)
reporting actions or a public disclosure if the latter is compliant with the Whistleblower Directive.
The core of the protection against retaliation lies in the reversed burden of proof. From the moment
that a person can demonstrate that,
(i) he/she disclosed information (by internal or external reporting or by public disclosure) and that
(ii) he/she encountered any act of retaliation, the burden of proof shifts to the natural or legal person responsible for that act or retaliation.
Hence, it is for the later to demonstrate justifiable grounds. In this regard, the Company may assist in dealing with a generated dispute.
