Product & Experience Designer

Whispli is a SaaS start-up from Australia; it is a secure platform enabling individuals to anonymously report suspected misconduct or wrongdoing to organisations, creating an environment that enables trusted and confidential conversations. Compliance, HR and/or Legal teams from these organisations can then verify and substantiate the reported information and act upon it internally – before it becomes public and harms the organisation's brand or reputation.

Whispli counts hundreds of Enterprise organizations as Clients and enables 5M+ employees to speak up, which has resulted in thousands of reports on topics like fraud, corruption, sexual harassment, bullying and more. Whispli also helps these organizations to promote a culture of open feedback, which is key for employee engagement and retention. To maximize its positive social impact, Whispli is also offered to Universities, Schools, Non-Profit Organisations and Journalists.
