By: David Ingram, a special to Overdrive
Ethical employees are those who make decisions in the best interest of their employers, co-workers and outside stakeholders in addition to themselves. Workplace ethics center on such diverse issues as discrimination, fraud, theft and personal politics.

Understanding how ethics can make you a better person in the workplace is a solid starting point for a commitment to always doing the right thing.
