Answer:

• Clear Scope & Definition:
  Define what constitutes reportable misconduct—fraud, corruption, harassment, or regulatory violations. A clear scope sets expectations and empowers employees to speak up without ambiguity! 📝🔍

• Confidentiality & Anonymity:
  Guarantee confidentiality and, where possible, anonymity for whistleblowers to encourage reporting without fear. Think of it as a secure vault for sensitive disclosures! 🔒🤫
