Unethical or illegal acts can cause serious harm to organizations and their employees. In many cases, these unfortunate events could be prevented if employees had an easily accessible and risk free means of reporting suspicious behavior to management.

What is the Ethics Hotline?

The Ethics Hotline is a confidential toll free number that employees and customers can use to report fraud or other suspicious activity within the organization.

Our staff is committed to protecting the confidentiality and anonymity of employees who use our service. The TEG Ethics Hotline provides employees with a tool in which they are able to report their concerns anonymously to an independent third party, either by phone or via the internet.

The hotline will allow your employees to anonymously report critical issues such as:

  • Accounting Irregularities
  • Theft or Misuse of Company Assets
  • Workplace Violence
  • Substance Abuse
  • Discrimination
  • Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
  • Conflicts of Interest

Who can benefit from the Ethics Hotline?

Companies or organizations of any size can benefit from the Hotline. A subscription to the Hotline will give employees a confidential outlet to express any concerns they may have. Early detection is the key to identifying and addressing risks before they develop into costly and potentially embarrassing incidents.

Who can I contact about a subscription to the Hotline?
