Ethics In The Workplace
Introduction
Ethics is not explainable, nor it is implementable because it is not conscious; Ethics includes the norms, moral values and the perception of an individual that governs his overall behavior.

Workplace ethics should be followed and should be applied in every organization and every job position. An organization with an ethical environment can be seen by the workforce who has high morals, productivity, dedication, clear views and a fair communication with everyone in a workplace (Wells, pp 4).
