Reporting illegal or unethical activity within an organization.
Whistleblowing is the act of an employee reporting suspected wrongdoing, illegal activity, or unethical conduct within their organization — either internally (to management or a designated whistleblowing channel) or externally (to a regulatory body). In the UK, whistleblowers are protected from dismissal and detriment under the Public Interest Disclosure Act (PIDA) 1998. Organizations should have a clear whistleblowing policy and a confidential reporting mechanism. HR software can manage whistleblowing case intake, investigation tracking, and resolution.
