My Experience with Business Ethics in the Workplace

As you have learned in Week 6, the workplace is where many ethical decisions are to be made. As discussed in Chapters 8 & 9 of the text (William H. Shaw p. 285), “Employees have all sorts of job- related concerns. Generally speaking, they want to do well at their assignments, to get along with their colleagues, and to have their contributions recognized.” Unfortunately, this does not always happen. Employees may be fired, discriminated against, and treated unfairly in the workplace. “Some very successful companies have taken the lead in respecting employee’s rights and human dignity (Shaw, 2015, p. 290).” In a reflective paper, please provide your experience concerning the business ethics in the workplace by answering the following questions:

  1. Give examples, if possible, from your own employment experiences, of companies’ respecting the rights of employees and of companies’ failing to do so.
  2. When it comes to a company’s personnel policies and procedures- that is, how it handles the hiring, firing, promoting, and paying of people who work for it- what do you see as the most important moral principles for it to bear in mind?
  3. Explain why you either support or disapprove of unions.
  4. How important is privacy to you personally? Describe a situation, work-related or otherwise, in which you felt your privacy was threatened.
  5. Describe your experiences with drug testing or personality testing. Have you or has anyone you know been subject to job monitoring that seemed too intrusive?
  6. Does business have a responsibility to provide employees with more satisfying work lives? Or to better accommodate their family needs?
