Hi, I came across the term "Whistle Blowing Policy" many a times. Just wondering if any of you can help me understand what it means and how is it applicable at work place. Thanks in advance Arpita

Hi Arpita,
As far as I am aware, whistleblowing policy is just like ringing the warning bells – as an employee, we might come across instances or acts in the organization that might challenge the policies or ethical values of the organization. In that sense, now we need to report it and make it reach the right person so that any wrongdoings could be stopped immediately, and any side effects of the same could be eliminated. Normally, people prefer to do it secretly to avoid enmity, so many organizations either have a separate cell or describe in the policy itself what the levels are or who the right persons are to talk to.
