The advantage of working with People Intouch is that we're offering employees a safe and comfortable way of reporting their concerns, which helps keep sensitive issues in-house. With operations worldwide we needed as well a consistent, cost-effective, secure and administratively simple way of handling sensitive calls which might come in anytime day or night, and in one of 50+ languages.

In line with our core values - to know, serve and trust, striving for perfection, and simultaneous promotion of all interests - Randstad attaches great value to ensuring that anybody wanting to report serious misconduct, is offered an easily accessible and confidential means, in their local language. The service that People InTouch facilitates, in all countries where we operate, enables Randstad to really substantiate these core values, in an efficient and effective manner.

The SpeakUp Line is part of our comprehensive compliance programme and underlines Roche's commitment to compliance.

After launching the Loomis Integrity Line in 2010 in 13 countries, predominantly in Europe, we noticed a steep rise in concerns raised. Not only were concerns reported via the new SpeakUp system, but employees also reported more via conventional communication channels. Discussing integrity and raising integrity concerns openly, has become more common within our organisation.

We promote ethical business practices and fair treatment of all employees. With the SpeakUp System we can offer all employees worldwide an equal way of reporting serious breaches of the Code of Conduct, in the most low-barrier way. The SpeakUp system offers anonymity, high quality and dialogue with the reporter which makes the system especially suited for our last resort principle.
