The Safecall 2026 Whistleblowing Benchmark Report
The 2026 Whistleblowing Benchmark Report is here. And this year’s data makes one thing clear: speak‑up has changed. The report highlights how employees are choosing to raise concerns, where trust is strongest, and what these shifts mean for organisations focused on culture, governance and accountability.
The 2026 Safecall Whistleblowing Benchmark Report shows a speak‑up landscape that is becoming more digital, more anonymous, and more emotionally complex.
Whistleblowing benchmark statistics show that web-based submissions now account for 71% of all reports, and anonymous reporting has increased 9% since 2019, now representing 56% of all cases.
At the same time, the whistleblowing hotline remains a critical route that people choose when their concern feels sensitive, personal or high‑risk – highlighting the continued importance of human connection in the speak‑up process.
We explore these trends in more depth in the full whistleblowing Benchmark Report, which you can download below.
This online companion dashboard provides an additional layer of insight – allowing you to examine the data by industry, region, reporting channel and misconduct type, and to hear from Safecall experts on what these shifts mean for culture, risk and reporting design.
