Abstract

The research article is aimed to understand how companies are getting pro-active and hence incorporating various trends in the training and development programs. One of such innovative trend is “Whistle blower program” (WBP). A WBP is one that ensures that employees are given enough security and freedom when they take an initiative to expose malpractices occurring in the company. The WBP can be introduced in training and development, as this would ensure that employees have no misconceptions about the policies. In addition, the employees can be moulded into effective and alert employees, which would be done by creating a very transparent and employee friendly environment. In addition, this research article aims in helping to understand the various repercussions of whistle blowing, benefits of WBP, legal systems in our and other countries to protect whistleblowers, etc. The article also includes the opinion of various experts who are in the field of human resources since a long time, belonging to different industries. They share with us their view on the viability of this concept. This research article would be useful for HR professionals, employees, researchers and policy makers in a company.
