TEST 2 :

What is the employee position in the workplace? Give your examples.

The Employee Position:

•NOT intrude upon my civil rights as anindividual – I am an employee, not a servant.
• Employee should be notified of any electronic surveillance and the purpose of that
surveillance.
• The actions of a small number of employees in breaking company rules should not be used as
a justification to take away everyone’s civil rights.
• Electronic monitoring implies that employee can’t be trusted to do our jobs – and if you can’t
trust employee, why are you employing them in the first place?

Example: Using software monitoring on company devices to keep track of what employees use
and do is a private area of employee rights.

What is social responsibility?

Social responsibility means that businesses, in addition to maximizing shareholder value, should
act in a manner that benefits society. Socially responsible companies should adopt policies that
promote the well-being of society and the environment while lessening negative impacts on
them.
How many levels of social responsibility?
There are four levels of social responsibility: economics, or the responsibility of the business to
be profitable; the responsibility to meet the legal obligations—businesses must comply with the
law and regulations; companies have a responsibility to act ethically and morally and to choose
the action that causes the least, if any, harm; and finally, philanthropic is the idea that
businesses should give back, either in time, money, or goods, to the community in which they
serve.

A dishwasher knows that the restaurant’s chef typically reheats three or four day old food and
serves it as fresh. When he informs the manager, he is told to forget it. What should the
dishwasher do?

Since management refused to do something, he will inform the manager that if the reheating is
ignored 3-4 times, he should tell a whistle externally by reporting the matter to the media or
health authorities or even to the government. This is whistleblowing for the right thing to do,
and it is do the right thing.
