The continuing tale of the interaction between employees and employers in the
history of workplace ethics. The 2018 Global Business Ethics Survey says that 40% of
employees say their organization has a weak ethical culture and that little progress has
been done to reduce misconduct. Business ethics is viewed as an essential element that
impacts the success and income of each business, and its importance is expected to

same time. It is vital to have thorough attention to ethical problems in addition to the
identification of preventive actions. Workplace health and safety, whistle blowing, and

tor as a perfect business and that most, if not all, business owners could face
ethical troubles at some time in their careers. Even if an organization takes all re-
quired measures, it must always be prepared to cope with ethical demanding sit-
uations in business, and it's far nice to look at some real-life times to fully grasp

bad views, not understanding that this moral problem can be useful and trans-

nization. Companies can also fix issues if they are well prepared and have an ap-
propriate solution to the problem. It is also critical to take an action while the
