whistleblower disclosure process

A whistleblower disclosure process involves reporting concerns about illegal or unethical activities within an organization. The individual, known as the whistleblower, submits their complaint to a designated internal body or external agency, often confidentially. The organization then reviews the claim, investigates the issue, and takes appropriate action. Laws often protect whistleblowers from retaliation, encouraging transparency and accountability. The goal is to identify misconduct early, ensure proper correction, and uphold ethical standards without risking the whistleblower’s safety or job security.
