- how to respond in 100 words? Whistleblowing is said to have originated in England due to the British police blowing whistles to indicate a crime was being committed (Purdy, 2021). Now it has evolved to be used regarding insiders of a business making misbehavior public (Purdy, 2021). People are often fearful of engaging in whistleblowing activities due to potential retaliation for speaking out (Kenny, 2019). One of the best ways to respond to whistleblowing is by having a protocol for employees to report any dangers or misbehavior in the workplace (Purdy, 2021). This allows the employer to investigate and document the allegations to determine how to remedy the situation (Purdy, 2021). It also allows the employer to determine whether the employee’s allegations are based on their standards of conduct or if it is against the firm's guidelines (Purdy, 2021). If the employer chooses to ignore the reports and the employee blows the whistle, then there are protections for the employee.
