Response

It is very disturbing to hear that unethical practices are occurring  frequently in the work force. I feel as though there are several ways to prevent this from happening. The first one starts with human resources and selecting good employees. Another good alternative is setting up an anonymous dropbox for employees to write down  concerns or any questionable activities  going on in the workplace. Employees must bring up any questionable activities to someone higher up that can deal with the situation properly. If publicizing the action is necessary then it needs to be brought up to all employees in order to make sure that it does not happen again. Ethical disruptions can be very costly to any company. Managers need to make sure they catch any problems before they cause a major disaster like what happened to Enron or Worldcom. In order to make more money, some people will do anything. You can only hope that you have honest and responsible employees who will not partake in unethical practices or if see them occurring they will report them.
