Why Workplace Ethics Are Important

When it comes to ethical and non ethical it varies from person to person. What seems ethical to me may seem unethical to someone else. So it totally depends on person’s principles, values and culture. So from my perspective this discussion topic is debatable.

When it comes to workplace ethics there are companies’ norms and standard common for every employee. All employees need to follow that. But we all know that is not the case, still there are the people in workplace who do unethical misconduct it can be anything like saying lie in front of boss about your conduct or behavior, they may modifies the document made by you or falsify the information or do anything that ruins your impression in front of top management resulting into fire from job. The reason behind person doing unethical behavior can be many like they may be jealous of you, they envy you, they think you are roadblock for them, they think you will get more importance than them, or you may still there promotional chances etc…

Even someone in charge of keeping record of your timesheet may change your hours of work , red flagging that you come late always at workplace but that’s not the case. Some may do all this for fun. You may become victim of such kind of person. It’s even difficult to identify them and catch them red handed. But I would day just because someone is unethical you should not do the same as they do. If you do the same there would be no difference between you and them.

Whistle blowers can be internal and external. They bring in lime light all this unethical issues within the organization or to third person like lawyers. They are big risk to their lives and they may have to face hatred from the person doing that it can be his or her superior. They may even lose their job. But there are laws protecting whistle blowers.
