A Short Look at Ethics

     Maintaining personal ethical standards can sometime be hard in the workplace when employees are dealing with delicate situations that they believe may cost them their job or their positions.  Business ethics is “coming to know what it right or wrong in the workplace and doing what's right -- this is in regard to effects of products/services and in relationships with stakeholders” (McNamara).  Employees have to learn to do what is right for the company, although it may not be easy.

  
     Ethical behavior plays a part in every aspect of our lives; at work, at home, at school, at church, in every decision that we make.  It is important to understand how to behave ethically when trying to persuade someone to do something; especially in the workplace.  Listening to others, knowing their sides, and respecting it is imperative to ethical behavior.
