What is a Whistleblower Program?
A whistleblower program is a program which allows employees to report violations of the law to a government agency or a superior without fear of retaliation. Many nations have such programs to ensure that workers feel comfortable about reporting violations. Some companies also have whistleblower policies in place to encourage their employees to speak up about problems in the company. These programs appear to be highly beneficial for employees and society in general, since employees may notice problems which could become serious issues if they are not addressed.
