Whistleblowing is becoming a more standardized practice in workplaces around the world, but workplace culture is still deterring large numbers of employees from engaging in the practice, new research by law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer has revealed.
Freshfields commissioned a survey of 2,500 middle and senior managers across the United States, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Germany, and France. The survey was conducted by Censuswide in September 2017 to analze business views on whistleblowing. The first half of the survey asked respondents to answer from their perspective as an employee, while the second half of the survey asked senior-level employees to answer from their perspective as an employers.
