According to The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), whistleblowing is defined as an agent of the company (e.g., employee) who reports an activity considered to be illegal. When a person becomes a whistleblower, certain safeguards are implemented for protection: confidentiality and retaliation. Unfortunately, in some cases, confidentiality is not always guaranteed due to the nature of the offense.
Based on the information above, research a current (2019-2024) whistleblower case. In a 1-page analysis, share the background of the opportunity and if in the employees’ shoes, would you also be a whistleblower. Why or why not?
