In this paper, I will argue that organizations should develop formal whistleblowing policies as a way to create the conditions necessary for the effective management of whistleblowing. These policies should provide standard guidelines within which organizations respond to the ethical or moral concerns of their employees. Whistleblowing policies should have the following components as a minimum:A clear statement that employees who are aware of possible wrongdoing within the organization have a responsibility to disclose that information to appropriate parties inside the organization;The designation of specific individuals or groups outside the chain of command as complaint recipients;A guarantee that employees who in good faith disclose perceived wrongdoing to the designated parties inside the organization will be protected from adverse employment consequences; andThe establishment of a fair and impartial investigative process.To succeed, policies must have the commitment of top management and must be adequately communicated to employees.I believe that the whistleblowing research mentioned earlier points to legal, practical, and ethical imperatives that compel organizations to develop whistleblowing policies. The following discussion explains why I believe this, and presents the legal, practical, and ethical imperatives that make whistleblowing policies advisable.
