ETHICAL BEHAVIORS 2
Part A: Case Studies
Addressing Employee Relations
Question 1
Britney is tasked with handling three difficult issues. However, the most crucial one is
one that involves the sexual advances directed towards Natalie, as it is in the public domain, and
thus she needs to restore the company’s reputation (Meyer et al., 2010). The second important
issue to handle is the case displaying fraud activities in the company. Lastly, Britney can deal
with the unethical conducts portrayed by Max.
Question 2
Joan violated the company’s policy, which advocated for the maintenance of privacy in
the organization. Britney can reprehend Joan for lashing out and informing all about the incident
of Natalie, which makes the company vulnerable. I would ensure that there are severe
repercussions for anyone who violates the communication policy (Greve et al., 2010)
Question 3
Max uses company assets to visit pornographic sites. This is an illegal act according to
the company’s laws. Britney can deal with this situation by restricting Max from accessing the
company’s facilities for a period.
Question 4
The company can develop a policy that control’s internet use. Such include the
installation of trackers that control a person’s actions when using the internet. This will aid build
the beneficial use of the internet.

Question 5
Yes, Paul should be dismissed. One the company’s policy is honesty and integrity
(Werbel, &Balkin, 2010), both of which he acted in contrasting ways. His failure of reporting the
crime is a just base for his termination.
Question 6
If the court finds the organization as having no just cause to terminate Paul, the
organization’s reasonable notice would be to suspend him for a period. This would help control
further legal complications arising from the issue.
Question 7
If I were in Paul’s position, I would have reported the case to senior management. This is
because I would have witnessed an unethical act, and thus requiring me to report to the
administration for further follow-up.
Part B: A Matter of Security at Canadian Pacific and International Bank
Question 1
I would recommend a disciplinary action. It was negligent of her to take the property out
of the office and not employ cautious steps to ensure that it is safe.
Question 2
There are long-term implications for the human resources. The department is vulnerable
to extortion incidences in the instance that the robbers are able to decode the information.
Question 3
