National whistleblower protections

National whistleblower protections are laws that safeguard employees who report illegal or unethical activities within their organization. These protections aim to prevent retaliation, such as firing or demotion, and ensure that whistleblowers can disclose misconduct without fear. They typically include confidentiality guarantees and legal remedies if retaliation occurs. These laws encourage transparency and accountability, promoting a workplace culture where concerns about wrongdoing can be raised responsibly, ultimately helping to enforce compliance with laws and ethical standards.
