Answer 1

this is the edmentum answer and ill put my answer as well

Explanation:

edmentum: Ethical dilemmas are very common in the workplace. The employees of an organization are under pressure to deliver an expected level of performance. They need to perform to meet the organization’s goals without compromising on quality or giving in to temptation, such as opportunities to share confidential company data. When an organization provides training and guidance to its employees, it helps them to make appropriate ethical decisions.

The cultures of organizations vary. Some businesses do not look beyond their own profits, and their leaders often ignore their own standards of ethics. Employees who do not agree to certain practices may hesitate to protest because they don’t want to risk losing their jobs or for management to single them out as untrustworthy.

Ethical dilemmas are common in business processes; for example, when employees manipulate work reports to obtain recognition and appreciation, or when employees fudge financial statements to depict false increases in sales.

Another example of an ethical business dilemma would be an employee finding out that a senior manager is misusing company resources for personal gain. The employee may receive an offer from the manager to share in the unethical gains.

my answer: Ethical business dilemmas are growing more important over the years now that people have realized businesses should be treating their employees as human beings. Applying for a job you should be aware of common ethical dilemmas business faces and how well they handle them.  Some common dilemmas are health and safety, diversity and discrimination policies, employee privacy, unethical pricing, and sadly sexual harassment.
