International research found that reporting by employees is the single most important method by which wrongdoing in, or by, an organisation is brought to light.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThese changes will give those making and receiving disclosures much greater clarity regarding the scope of the Act and greater understanding of and confidence in the process,\u201d Hipkins says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/reportitnow-global.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/new-law-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1454\" src=\"https:\/\/reportitnow-global.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/new-law-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"925\" height=\"526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reportitnow-global.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/03\/new-law-2.jpg 925w, https:\/\/reportitnow-global.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/03\/new-law-2-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/reportitnow-global.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/03\/new-law-2-768x437.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 925px) 100vw, 925px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chief Ombudsman Peter Boshier is welcoming the move to provide better protection for whistleblowers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI agree that the Act is not working as well as it could, and allowing people to report directly to an external authority is a prudent move, as is specifically expanding the definition of serious wrongdoing to include NGOs which handle public funds.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt is also pleasing to see that the Government will consider a \u2018one-stop-shop\u2019 for disclosures and continue to increase public awareness of the legislation. As we saw from the public feedback, it is critically important that the \u2018one-stop-shop\u2019 is a fully independent authority.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Ombudsman says the Government&#8217;s approach should go further however.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI believe the legislation needs to be clear that bullying and harassment is serious misconduct as this is an increasingly prevalent problem in workplaces, and a matter of extreme sensitivity for employees who may find it difficult to raise such issues with their employer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2019 Boshier ordered research into the Protected Disclosures Act which ultimately found that the Act wasn\u2019t working as well as it should.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reportitnow.co.nz\/blog\/ombudsman-most-workers-unaware-of-pda\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">that research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, just 9% of survey respondents were even <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">aware<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of the Protected Disclosures Act, an appallingly low number, given 21% of all respondents also said they have witnessed \u201cserious wrongdoing\u201d in the workplace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Those hoping for more sweeping regulatory changes &#8211; such as payments for whistleblowers who suffer retribution as a result of their disclosure &#8211; are likely to be disappointed: the proposed reforms likely won\u2019t include provisions for whistleblowers seeking financial redress for abusive employers and Hipkins specifically ruling out protections for whistleblowers who go to the media.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reportitnow.co.nz\/contact-us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Talk to us
