Hotline Methodology

Incoming calls are identified—by customer name—through digital screen telephones located at each workstation.  This feature enables the responding Communications Specialist to answer with the appropriate customized greeting and to access the proper electronic intake form on our call intake system.  Callers to a dedicated hotline will be interviewed in accordance with a customer-specific questionnaire.   

Each Communications Specialist is part of a network system electronically monitored by at least one lead Communications Specialist or a supervisor. Supervisory personnel can monitor reporting in real time. During the progress of the call, the Communications Specialist has the ability to alert supervisory personnel of either an emergency or an immediate need of assistance. 

 A summary of the call is entered directly into the call management system and automatically formatted into the appropriate report design.  A supervisor is notified electronically when the call terminates. A call report line on the supervisor screen indicates that a completed call is awaiting quality review before delivery. All final reports are reviewed for quality assurance and approved by supervisory personnel before transmittal to customer. 

Completed reports will be delivered to the designated company representative by the method of choice, usually Internet email within 24 hours in non-emergency cases.  Priority calls, as identified by the client, will be reported telephonically to a representative within 30 minutes.  

Prior to termination of an interview, callers are supplied with a unique code number for identification, callback and feedback purposes.  All callers are encouraged to call back if they have additional information on their reported event, if they observe any other incidents, or if they wish to check on the resolution of their compliant.  This code number system further guarantees the anonymity of callers. 

Allegations are organized into separate categories, e.g. ethics and compliance, fraud, theft, drug usage, sexual harassment, discrimination, operational problems, employee suggestions, etc.  Other customer-specific issues are identified prior to service and incorporated into their customized intake form. 

Implementation of the program may be accomplished within 10 business days of contract and call intake script approval.  Wackenhut will secure a vanity number for the hotline (subject to availability) if desired, or assist in the transfer of an existing number, or provide a new toll-free number at no charge for new clients.  

Through a strategic alliance, Wackenhut has the ability to offer the option of customized awareness materials for the client. The time required to distribute promotional materials is dependent upon the number of employees and locations.
