He’s also a published academic researcher studying internal whistleblowing: the practice of employees reporting suspected illegal activity or misconduct up the chain of command. In this episode of SHRM’s All Things Work podcast, host Tony Lee learns firsthand what Kyle discovered after analyzing over 2 million reports.
