Abstract
This article advocates that whistleblowing is good for an organization, with certain caveats. The definition and history of whistleblowers are discussed, and examples of how whistleblowers could have saved organizations money and their reputations are provided. Results of surveys and studies that show how whistleblowing is beneficial for organizations are provided and discussed. Finally, steps for organizations to encourage internal whistleblowing are described.
