What is the announcer?

Whistleblower is a person working in an organization that reports misconduct. He or she can be a current or past employee, and misconduct can take place at the time of the report or may have taken place in the past. In most cases, incorrect behavior reported by the announcer violates the law and in one way or another threatens the public, although any form of misconduct may be reported.

There are two types of notifiers: internal and external. The internal announcer reports misconducts to another person working on business, such as another employee or supervisor. However, an external announcer reports misconduct to the external agency, such as the media, lawyer, law enforcement or special protective agencies.

In many countries, the notifier is protected by law. For example, the United Kingdom passed the Public Interest Act in 1998. This act protects the employees from being released when reporting to the practices of the non -hasty forms of misconduct. The United States also has established laws on the protection of notifiers, althoughSpecific protection depends on the state in which the report takes place, as well as on the basis of the reported type of incorrect conduct.

In spite of established protective measures to protect the notifiers, it may be quite stressful to report the employer's misconduct. Not only does one feel concerns about a future job, but he can also be frightened by others who look adversely at a person who reports misconduct. In addition, it is possible that a person submitting a report to face legal persecution if the employer takes steps against him for engaging in the first place.

In the United States, there were many famous cases of the announcer. One of ENRON's most important companies, a corporation that has caused millions of people to lose money money. Another famous case is the case of Joseph Darby, a military police officer who announced abuseprisoners in Abu Ghraib in Iraq
