Whistleblowing - Overcoming Barriers in your Organization

Whistleblowing is when a person exposes any kind of information or activity that is deemed illegal, unethical, or not correct within an organization that is either private or public. While whistleblowing is the right thing to do it can often come with repercussions to the whistleblower. Provide a response to the following questions:

• What moral obligation, beyond the scope of your job, do you have to your employer? Explain your answer.
• Depending on how a company reacts, discuss how whistleblowing could affect a company’s future?
