Why do you need Right Whistle?
A whistleblower is an individual who shares information about wrongdoing. The whistleblower feels compelled to share the information even if what they witnesses is considered normal or accepted behavior for that particular environment. The decision to blow the whistle is normally a difficult one. Coworkers or family members may try to convince the whistleblower that what they believe is unethical, is acceptable and legal. This leads whistleblowers to question themselves and seek information and validation to make the decision before they go to authorities.
In that process, modern day whistleblowers may turn to social media. At that point, the organization and the whistleblower start to be damaged regardless of whether the whistleblower is correct in their analysis. A whistleblower may also reach out to board members, HR professionals or members of management. In most organizations, this is an unusual event and without attending legal counsel, the whistleblower’s rights may be violated early in the discussions leading to potential legal ramifications for the employer or identified organization.
Right Whistle allows the whistleblower to receive feedback and protection while the identified problem is vetted within the organization or by appropriate authorities. The identification of the whistleblower is not released until all legal protections can be put in place for a safe process for both participants.
