Trusted reporting starts with trusted process
Trust at work, the speak-up series
Episode 2: Trusted reporting starts with trusted process
What this webinar is about
A speak-up channel is only part of the story. Trust is shaped by what employees believe will happen after they raise a concern, how it is handled, who is involved, and whether the organisation follows through.
In this on-demand episode, we explore what “trusted reporting” means in practice, using real-world case examples discussed in the session.
What we are exploring
This conversation unpacks:
- The trust moments that influence whether people speak up, from first response to case closure
- Independence and credibility, and why “independent” needs to be both real and visible
- Fair process and natural justice, how to protect integrity without stalling action
- Culture, power, and silence, and what makes reporting systems fail even when policies exist

FAQs
This depends on the industry and type of role you are recruiting for. To determine whether you need reference checks, identity checks, bankruptcy checks, civil background checks, credit checks for employment or any of the other background checks we offer, chat to our team of dedicated account managers.
Many industries have compliance-related employment check requirements. And even if your industry doesn’t, remember that your staff have access to assets and data that must be protected. When you employ a new staff member you need to be certain that they have the best interests of your business at heart. Carrying out comprehensive background checking helps mitigate risk and ensures a safer hiring decision.
Again, this depends on the type of checks you need. Simple identity checks can be carried out in as little as a few hours but a worldwide criminal background check for instance might take several weeks. A simple pre-employment check package takes around a week. Our account managers are specialists and can provide detailed information into which checks you need and how long they will take.
All Veremark checks are carried out online and digitally. This eliminates the need to collect, store and manage paper documents and information making the process faster, more efficient and ensures complete safety of candidate data and documents.
In a competitive marketplace, making the right hiring decisions is key to the success of your company. Employment background checks enables you to understand more about your candidates before making crucial decisions which can have either beneficial or catastrophic effects on your business.
Background checks not only provide useful insights into a candidate’s work history, skills and education, but they can also offer richer detail into someone’s personality and character traits. This gives you a huge advantage when considering who to hire. Background checking also ensures that candidates are legally allowed to carry out certain roles, failed criminal and credit checks could prevent them from working with vulnerable people or in a financial function.
