The norms of conduct that decide whether a person's acts are right or bad, honest or dishonest, are called ethics. The moral code that guides employees' behavior regarding what is right and wrong in terms of conduct and decision-making is characterized as ethics in the workplace. Ethical workplace decision-making takes into account both the best interests of the individual employee and the best interests of those who are impacted. Honesty, fairness, integrity, and understanding are all characteristics of ethical behavior.

Establishing a company-wide code of ethics is one strategy for creating an ethical workplace culture. Ethics might be based on belief or on the desire to make the world a better place. We can demonstrate ethical behavior to do the right thing regardless of whether we receive recognition for it. This behavior is not limited to the workplace; it can be present in every facet of life.
