Whistleblower Webinar, July 2021

By December 17th 2021, Romania must complete the process of transposing into national law the Directive for the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law (the “Whistleblowers’ Directive). Similarly to other countries, Romania intends to expand the protective measures significantly beyond the requirements of the directive.

In this context, Nestor Nestor Diculescu Kingston Petersen (NNDKP) organizes on Tuesday, 13 July 2021, starting 15:00 p.m. (Romania time), the webinar:

Decoding and systematizing the obligations of employers: Essential Legal and Tech requirements to ensure compliance with the Whistleblowing Legislation

during which we will discuss the rigors that companies/ the private business sector/ employers in general must comply with, as soon as the law transposing the Directive enters into force.

We have designed a practical debate, from a Legal & Tech perspective, focused on key corporate governance, labour law and data protection aspects that have to be clarified and implemented, through a cogent process supported by a safe and trustworthy technical system.

NNDKP lawyers together with our guest, a representative from WhistleB, a leading provider of whistleblowing management software, with whom NNDKP has entered into an exclusive partnership for Romania, will answer relevant questions such as:

• Minimum investments and maximum results; ensuring compliance through the right/optimal sizing of time related efforts and financial resources.
• Why may existing whistleblowing systems, which companies have already used for a number of years now, prove to be insufficient for companies?
• What are the technical requirements, and what are the options available to ensure compliance with the legislation on the whistleblowers’ protection but also on the protection of personal data?
• Data protection in practice. What to consider in the „Whistleblower” context?
• The good and the bad – how can we facilitate whistleblowing and reward whistleblowers? Aspects regarding the protection against pseudo-whistleblowers.
• The legal framework regarding the protection of whistleblowers in labor relations.
• Liability of whistleblowers for violations committed as employees (including false reporting).
• When should smaller employers start to observe the requirements for the protection of whistleblowers?

Speakers:

• Adriana I. Gaspar, Senior Partner, NNDKP, Corporate Law/Corporte Governance
• Jan Stappers, Senior Manager, WhistleB
• Roxana Ionescu, Partner, NNDKP, Head of Data Protection
• George Trandafir, Senior Associate, NNDKP, Corporate Law/Corporte Governance

Pana pe 17 decembrie 2021, Romania trebuie sa finalizeze transpunerea in legislatia proprie a Directivei privind protectia persoanelor care raporteaza incalcari ale dreptului Uniunii. Asemenea altor tari, Romania intentioneaza sa extinda masurile de protectie semnificativ peste cerintele directivei.

In acest context, Nestor Nestor Diculescu Kingston Petersen (NNDKP) organizeaza marti, 13 iulie 2021, incepand cu ora 15.00 (ora Romaniei), un webinar cu tema:

Decodificarea si sistematizarea obligatiilor angajatorilor: Cerinte juridice si tehnice esentiale pentru conformitate cu Legislatia privind protectia avertizorilor de integritate

in cadrul caruia vom trece in revista rigorile pe care companiile/mediul privat/angajatorii in general trebuie sa le respecte de indata ce legea de transpunere a Directivei va intra in vigoare

Va propunem astfel o dezbatere aplicata, din perspectiva Legal & Tech, despre elemente cheie de guvernanta corporativa, de dreptul muncii si din sfera protectiei datelor care trebuie clarificate si implementate, printr-un sistem coerent, cu un suport tehnic sigur si de incredere.

Avocatii NNDKP, impreuna cu invitatul nostru din partea WhistleB, unul dintre furnizorii importanti de software de gestionare a avertizarilor de integritate cu care NNDKP a formalizat recent un parteneriat exclusiv pentru Romania, vor raspunde la o serie de intrebari relevante in acest context, precum:

• Investitii minimale si rezultate maximale; dimensionarea corecta si economica a eforturilor de timp si resurse financiare pentru asigurarea conformitatii.
• De ce ar putea fi insuficiente sistemele de avertizare pe care unele dintre companii le au de ani buni?
• Care sunt necesitatile de ordin tehnic si ce optiuni exista pentru a respecta legislatia privind protectia avertizorilor, dar si cea privind protectia datelor?
• Protectia datelor in practica. Ce trebuie avut in vedere in contextul „Whistleblower”?
• Cei buni si cei rai – cum putem facilita si premia avertizorii de integritate? Protectia impotriva pseudo-avertizorilor.
• Parghii legale privind protectia avertizorilor in relatiile de munca.
• Raspunderea avertizorilor pentru incalcarile savarsite in calitate de salariati (inclusiv pentru raportarile false).
• De cand trebuie sa respecte angajatorii de dimensiuni mai mici masurile de protectie a avertizorilor?

Speakeri:

• Adriana I. Gaspar, Partener Senior, NNDKP, Drept corporativ/ Guvernanta Corporativa
• Jan Stappers, Senior Manager, WhistleB
• Roxana Ionescu, Partener, NNDKP, Coordonator al practicii de Protectia Datelor
• George Trandafir, Asociat Senior, NNDKP, Drept corporative/Guvernanta Corporativa
