Ethical decisions are made daily in any organization. These decisions have a direct impact on the consumers as well as the employees of the organization. The first example of a common ethical decision is how much to pay employees. This decision will have impacts on how much this will cost the company, what kind of employees are hired by the company, the retention rate of employees, and the approval of customers. When companies choose to pay employees more, they obviously take a hit on their bottom line. They could possibly lose money and have to lay those same employees off simply because the company cannot afford to keep them. But, paying employees well can be a very positive thing for the company. For example, if a company decides to pay their employees fifteen dollars an hour rather than nine dollars an hour, these employees will be a lot more joyful at work. Also, more people would want the job, therefore the company can choose the best candidates. This also helps the company keep employees and not have to constantly train new ones which costs a lot of money.
The second ethical decision made daily is harassment in the workplace. Harassment can be mental, physical, or sexual. These things seemingly happen all the time at many companies. This can be employee to employee or boss to employee. Harassment is obviously unacceptable but it seems as if it is not always handled or prevented correctly. It is important that the company has clear policies in place that prevent these issues. Also, if these issues are not prevented there needs to be clear wording on what happens to the harasser as well as the person being harrassed. There needs to be steep disciplinary action if this takes place.
