Syntrio Acquires ClearView Strategic Partners to Accelerate International Growth
Fuels Syntrio’s growth with large enterprises and expands customer support across global markets.
Deerfield, IL, February 14, 2022 – Syntrio, a global leader in governance, risk, compliance, and human resource solutions that enable 6,000 organizations to make the workplace a better place, announced it had acquired ethics reporting and whistleblower hotline provider ClearView Strategic Partners (ClearView Connects), based in Toronto, Ontario.
Demand for whistleblower hotline services is growing worldwide as regulations and concerns about organizational culture and compliance accelerate, which is due in part to the effects of COVID-19 on hybrid and virtual workforce models. Remote working has created challenges for many organizations by limiting visibility into employee issues and disputes, thereby inhibiting traditional communication channels and driving more demand for these important hotline reporting services.
“We’re excited to expand our global reach with ClearView Connects, their enterprise hotline, and case management solution. We also feel certain their customers will benefit from our best-in-class LMS and learning libraries,” said Tom O’Keefe, President and CEO, Syntrio. “This acquisition strengthens our ability to improve organizational culture and performance at scale.”
As global regulatory environments become more complex and rigorous, organizations of all sizes understand the need for automated solutions that reduce risk while improving culture and performance. With the acquisition of ClearView, Syntrio now offers more choices for customers who have unique ethics reporting and whistleblower hotline requirements, especially in markets outside the US.
ClearView Strategic Partners is a Canadian company specializing in ethics reporting and whistleblower hotline solutions that connect people and organizations. The company has become a recognized leader with the widely adopted solution, ClearView Connects™, which empowers employees to speak up and organizations to understand and address what they hear.
“It has always been our goal to deliver a scalable ethics reporting and whistleblower hotline solution for enterprises that are easy to implement and use, and customers have responded favorably,” said Phil Enright, President, ClearView. “It is exciting to join the Syntrio team, which allows us to better serve and grow our global customer base.”
Backed by Inverness Graham Investments, this is the fifth acquisition for Syntrio as Inverness continues to pursue strategic add-ons that complement the company’s employee experience platform, reporting hotline, and eLearning libraries to build value for Syntrio’s customers.
