Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The major issue with the program at the company is the lack of adherence to anonymity policies. Although Company X has a good whistle-blowing program in place, Sara's identity was revealed to her team, which indicates a breach of the anonymity policy. The policy should be strictly enforced to ensure that the whistleblowers, such as Sara, are protected from retaliation and other negative consequences.
