The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is warning companies against intimidating potential whistleblowers by forcing them to sign broad nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) to deter misconduct from coming to light.
“Companies should not censor or muzzle employees through [NDAs] that deter whistleblowers from coming forward to law enforcement,” said Rohit Chopra, CFPB director, in a press release Wednesday.
