Answer to Question 1


Ethics refers to conventional standards of right and wrong that prescribe what people should do. Dealing honestly with colleagues and customers develops trust and builds strong relationships, especially important in today's business environments. Guidelines for ethical behavior include abiding by the law, telling the truth, labelling opinions, being objective, communicating clearly, using inclusive language, and giving credit.



Questions to ask yourself when faced with ethical dilemmas at work include: Is the action legal? Would I do this if I were on the opposite side?Can I rule out a better alternative? Would a trusted advisor agree? Would family, friends, employer, or coworkers approve?
