This would strengthen the work place ethics in the organization.
6.2 Allocate more power to employees:
Allocating challenging opportunities at a lower level can build a sense of responsibility for employees.

Encouraging employees to participate in the business can help develop leaders, as well as create a culture of leadership that will lead to the success of the company.
6.3 Implement ethic programs in the company:
Organization can organize ethical issues internally, employees or leaders who are being unethical will be given a chance to tell the truth. A responsible and ethical leader should not hide the information and be willing to admit the failure. Leaders and employees are always required to tell the truth. Therefore, programs that allow people to step forward to expose unethical behavior should be launched.
6.4 Establish reward and punishment system:
Organization can set a guideline concerning ethical behavior in workplace. A reward and punishment system not only enhances the motivation of employees towards the organization, but also encourages productivity. In addition, manager can implement a system of reward and punishment which strictly enforce the guidelines of ethical behavior in the workplace.
