Nepotism

Nepotism refers to the practice of favoring family members or close relatives for jobs, promotions, contracts, collaboration or other benefits within a company, organization, or government agency. It essentially prioritizes personal connections over merit or qualifications and can cut eligible workers and companies from professional opportunities.

Nepotism and Whistleblowing

If an employee witnesses nepotism that creates a demonstrably unfair or unethical work environment, they may become a whistleblower. This involves reporting the situation, with specific details and evidence, to the appropriate authorities who can investigate potential legal violations.
