Answer 1

Answer:

An owner or manager allows employees paid time off to work in a charity of their choice.

Explanation:

Usually ethical caring and management practices are often  considered in conflict with each other. Usually management focuses on increasing profits while ethical caring focuses on moral actions and interpersonal relationships.

The caring theory of ethical management tries to combine management practices and ethical care, in order to reach a compromise where profit is no longer the single goal of the company. Companies will always need to make a profit to survive, but they can also focus on the ethical care of its employees, surrounding community and environment.
