- how to respond in 100 words? Whistleblowing is said to have originated in England due to the British police blowing whistles to indicate a crime was being committed (Purdy, 2021). Now it has evolved to be used regarding insiders of a business making misbehavior public (Purdy, 2021). People are often fearful of engaging in whistleblowing activities due to potential retaliation for speaking out (Kenny, 2019). One of the best ways to respond to whistleblowing is by having a protocol for employees to report any dangers or misbehavior in the workplace (Purdy, 2021). This allows the employer to investigate and document the allegations to determine how to remedy the situation (Purdy, 2021). It also allows the employer to determine whether the employee’s allegations are based on their standards of conduct or if it is against the firm's guidelines (Purdy, 2021). If the employer chooses to ignore the reports and the employee blows the whistle, then there are protections for the employee.

Since the early years of the first decade of the 21st century, there have been a number of whistleblowing cases that have generated a great deal of publicity and have had a significant impact on business and society (Lopez et al., 2013, pg. 283). Due to the magnitude of the impact of whistleblowing and the potential backlash that employees may receive, many are apprehensive to engage in it. However, there are federal laws in place to protect whistleblowers from retaliation and discrimination (Batten, 2013). Employers should follow suit when responding to whistleblowing by their employees. This is because how employers respond to whistleblowing impacts the workplace environment significantly. Additionally, Katz et al. (2012) reminds us that the costs of doing nothing when wrongdoings are reported can be immense.           A vital first step is to establish a whistleblowing policy and ensure that it is communicated with every employee. This policy should be…arrow_forwardBe selfless; Be specific and Be sincere are the components of writing good well massages that suit your audience.  Select one: True Falsearrow_forward
