Respond to this: Employers can promote ethical behavior among their employees in many ways. Before hiring employees, many HR professionals will vet applicants based on "cultural fit" in order to make sure they align with the ethics of the company overall. These applicants are asked to explain how they would handle certain hypothetical situations in order to gauge the ethics possessed by a given individual. Once employees are hired, companies can do a lot to promote building more ethical habits as well as fostering an environment for continued ethical business practices. Bringing in people who have stories to tell about how they "went astray" and were caught can be a productive way to show employees what can happen if they don't practice ethical business techniques. Additionally, it is important for employees to know about workplace ethics from the start as entry level employees. If a business lays out the common misconceptions about workplace ethics as explained in the article by Paul Falcone, they are less likely to cause problems later on. It is the responsibility of the organization to make sure employees are well versed in ethical practices in the workplace
