Ethics Training (Scenario)

In addition to this inappropriate behavior, several male coworkers use impolite gestures against female co- workers. There have been many complaints and the company has decided to use these issues as ethical training examples.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best choice is formal protective mechanisms because it addresses the issue of employees feeling fearful of reprimand when faced with ethical dilemmas. This can include clear policies and procedures for reporting ethical concerns, whistleblower protection, and a culture that values and rewards ethical behavior. Ethical training sessions may be a component of these protective mechanisms, but they alone are not sufficient to address the underlying issue of fear of retribution for doing what is right. Informal behavior modification and independent social audits are not relevant to this specific issue.
