Haiti Introduces Whistleblower Protection Policy to Prevent Retaliation Against Ethics Violators

Transparency and Accountability Take Center Stage in Haiti

Port-au-Prince, Haiti - In a groundbreaking move aimed at promoting transparency and accountability, The Haitian Project has introduced a whistleblower protection policy to prevent retaliation against employees who report ethics violations or suspected illegal activities.

The Policy: Promoting High Standards of Ethics

Adopted by the organization’s board of directors in March 2015, the policy requires all directors, officers, employees, and volunteers to observe high standards of business and personal ethics in their conduct. The policy also encourages employees to report concerns about violations of the organization’s code of ethics or suspected violations of law or regulations governing its operations.

Key Provisions

• Any employee who retaliates against someone who has reported a violation in good faith is subject to disciplinary action, including termination of employment.
• Confidential and anonymous reporting of violations are permitted, allowing employees to report concerns without fear of retribution.
• The compliance officer, Patrick Brun, is responsible for investigating all reported complaints and ensuring that corrective action is taken if warranted by the investigation.

The Impact: A Culture of Transparency and Accountability

The Haitian Project’s commitment to promoting honesty and integrity in its operations is evident in this new policy. By preventing retaliation against employees who speak out about wrongdoing, the organization hopes to promote a culture of transparency and accountability within its ranks.
