      Why the Interviewer Asks This Question

      The interviewer asks what you would do if a coworker asked you to do something unethical because they want to assess your moral compass and decision-making skills in difficult situations. It is important to remain ethical and professional in the workplace and not compromise your values to please others. If faced with this situation, it is best to politely decline and report the incident to a supervisor or Kaiser Permanente HR representative. Assure the interviewer that you always prioritize your integrity and reputation in the workplace.

      Jaymie's Feedback

      Integrity is a core value of Kaiser Permanente, so be sure to weave that into your answer. Also, reassure the interviewer that you would report the behavior, especially if there is a company policy around the issue (I.E., theft, patient abuse, falsifying documents, exposing patient information, etc.).
