Wells Fargo CEO says bank changing handling of whistleblower complaints

Wells Fargo & Co Chief Executive Officer Tim Sloan told workers on Thursday the bank was changing the handling of whistleblower complaints after allegations it retaliated against employees who called an ethics hotline to report sales abuses. Sloan announced the change to a gathering of about 2,000 employees in Des Moines, Iowa, as part of a “conversations tour” he and other executives are making to try to restore employee morale following the bank's recent sales practices scandal. Sloan, who took over as CEO of San Francisco-based Wells Fargo last month, did not detail how whistleblower complaints will now be handled, but said the bank was also reviewing allegations of retaliation against staff.
