Whistleblowing in the workplace is a process where an employee, (the whistleblower), reports to an authorised person a certain type of wrongdoing, misconduct or illegal act made by another employee or by the company itself.
“Whistleblowing examples can include criminal activity, such as theft, or unethical or unjust behaviour in the workplace, including racist, sexist or homophobic behaviour,” What is Whistleblowing at Work? | Health Assured. However, personal grievances, (including bullying, harassment, discrimination), are not covered by whistleblowing law, unless the case is in public interest.
