Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Having a closed-door policy means that employees are not encouraged to report any misconduct they witness, as they are not allowed to speak about it with anyone outside their immediate work environment. This lack of transparency makes it difficult for employees to trust the reporting process and can discourage them from coming forward with any whistleblowing claims. The other options listed (A, B and D) all encourage whistleblowing by providing clear communication channels, protection for whistleblowers, and consistent investigation procedures.
