The deadline for responding to a whistleblower’s report will remain despite the reason for recipient’s absence.

Companies can also designate backup personnel to handle reports when the primary contact is unable to do so. – Bartosz Tomanek, Mateusz Krajewski, and Bartłomiej Wodyński comment for Dziennik Gazeta Prawna.

Littler’s 2024 IE&D Annual Report, which highlights our collective efforts, achievements, and ongoing commitment to inclusion, equity, and diversity (IE&D), is now available.
This report outlines our comprehensive efforts over the past year, including our ongoing programs and initiatives, information on our affinity groups, and the demographics of our firm.
At Littler, we take pride in our 67% diverse attorney workforce, which includes individuals who have self-identified as minorities based on ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, having a disability, or being a veteran. While this statistic is promising, we understand that IE&D goes beyond mere numbers. It’s about the people behind those numbers, respecting their unique experiences, and creating a genuine environment where they can thrive and build fulfilling careers.
