Answer: The other two conditions are that:

1. Whistle-blowing is reasonably certain to prevent or stop the wrongdoing and

2. The employee has made unsuccessful attempts to resolve the problem through internal channels in the organization.

Explanation: Whistleblowing refers to a situation whereby an employee discloses information about wrongdoing within their organization. This information is usually about something they witnessed at work.
