Question:

1. According to this research, telework benefits some employees at the expense of others. Reviewing the ethical principles from Chapter 1, what can a person ethically do when a course of action benefits some people and hurts others?
2. Imagine that you work in human resource management at a company that has decided to adopt telework as a way to retain valued employees. Suggest ways you can help the company proceed with this plan as ethically as possible.

For a growing number of workers who are sick of sitting in rush-hour traffic, the cure is telework, or telecommuting. Employees who embrace telecommuting cite greater flexibility, the chance to take on a new job without relocating, greater work-life flexibility, and the ability to work for stretches uninterrupted by colleagues checking on their weekend activities or inviting them to the break room for birthday cake.
However, not every employee can (or wants to) telecommute, and for those who make the trip to work, telecommuting by others can present some difficulties.
Greater flexibility for some employees can make work less flexible for others, who are required to cover certain clients, tasks, or work hours. Supervisors with a last-minute task may find it easier to hand over the work to someone who is on-site. And employees who drive to work each day may feel that telecommuting employees simply have a more comfortable arrangement, which might not seem fair.
