disciplinary action,
prosecution

 Generally confidential
 Mostly external for

letterbox. Some companies also use Facebook for OGM
 Does your company have:
◦ A whistleblowing policy for its staff?
◦ A grievance mechanism for workers?
◦ A grievance mechanism for other
stakeholders/rightsholders?
 What kind of things might workers blow the
whistle about in Myanmar?
