Workplace ethics refers to how employees conduct themselves on the job. Some key aspects of workplace ethics include following company policies and the law, being able to "sleep at night" with your decisions, and doing your fair share of work. Surveys show that many workers engage in unethical behaviors like cutting corners, lying, or taking credit for others' work. To maintain strong ethics, workers should set standards around principles like trust, honesty, and avoiding conflicts of interest. Employers value characteristics like credibility, responsibility, flexibility, and being a team player. The overall focus should be on constantly improving one's work and ethical conduct.
