Hebrew term or phrase: קו היושרה
This expression is referred to in employee feedback.

It seems to refer to a hot-line, or a support line for employees to use, but I am not sure what to call it. The line reads:
קו היושרה - טוב לדעת שזה שם אך זה לא בתרבות שלנו לפנות לקו תמיכה אנחנו מנסים תמיד לפתור עניינים באופן ישיר

agree  Lingopro: The integrity line is for employees to use if they need to "blow the whistle" anonymously about misconduct and other issues at work. Another related term is whistleblower hotline.

agree  Ty Kendall: I like this option, it may be more UK than US but I see this used everywhere - the NHS, Ofsted etc. also use this term

agree  Itzik Greenvald Mivtach: This is also a good alternative. If not for the specific use of the word "integrity" in the sentence I would use this.
