Seasons Greetings,
It's getting to that colder time of the year for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere so I thought a cold and wintry Atlantic beach scene would be appropriate.
We are kicking off December with an exciting custom-created seminar for the Conference Board - "Managing Global Risk & Reputation to Your Company's Advantage", an interactive workshop for senior, cross-functional executives taking place on December 10-11, 2013, at TCB's NYC offices. Details, an agenda and registration are available in this newsletter (see separate box). There are still a few seats available - call or email me directly if you'd like to attend - abonimeblanc@gecrisk.com / +1.917.848.4448.
Also in this newsletter are two recent resources on issues revolving around executive whistleblowing - a topic that hasn't gotten a lot of coverage. Most companies focus, as they should, on the issue of creating a "safe to speak up culture" for the overall employee population. But there are times when high level executives know something that may be concerning or alarming. In these cases, frequently such individuals are at even greater risk and have fewer options than mid- or lower-level employees. My November cover story for Ethical Corporation Magazine explores the options of such an executive; the interview at The Company Ethicist takes it a couple of steps further.
As always, I welcome your feedback at abonimeblanc@gecrisk.com. Please visit www.GECRisk.com, follow me on twitter @GlobalEthicist or connect on Linked In at ![]() www.linkedin.com/in/andreabonimeblanc.
Cheers,
Andrea
