How does the Bank protect whistleblowers?
In the case of Bank staff members who submit allegations, Staff Rule on Protection to Whistleblowers and Witnesses (PE 328) protects them from retaliation. According to PE 328no employee shall be subject to reprisal because he or she has provided information to the designated authorities. Reprisals are defined as adverse actions on the part of co-workers or supervisors in response to the employee’s acting as a whistleblower.
