What happens to my report?

As part of the submission, you receive a key and a password which you can use later to follow up your report in Speak Up. The report is then sent to Group General Counsel for review and identification of further steps to be taken to resolve the issue.

Will I be protected from retaliation?

If you believe you have been retaliated against, you should contact your local HR representative.
