anti-retaliation
Against punitive responses
Anti-retaliation describes policies or laws that protect people from punishment for reporting misconduct.
Whistleblowers, harassment complainants, and employees who file safety complaints are shielded by anti-retaliation provisions: The company's anti-retaliation policy ensures no one faces demotion for speaking up.
The term appears almost exclusively in legal, corporate, and regulatory contexts.
