Question 41 of 43

When you believe an unethical issue is occurring, how do you react?

If you have sound reason to believe an unethical issue is occurring, you should report it. Always. You might report it to higher leadership or through an ethics portal. Interviewers want to hear that they are adding trusted people to their team who want to maintain the integrity and accountability of their organization. There is no need to get yourself involved in the issue. It is your responsibility to simply report the issue and wait for someone from management, an ethics team, or compliance to approach you to learn more about what you know.

      1st Answer Example

      "If I suspected or was aware of unethical behavior, I would report it up the chain of command to be dealt with. I represent the company that I work for, and it is important that I maintain the integrity and accountability of the company and deal with all inappropriate behavior in a professional manner."

      "Report to the chain of command."

      Stephanie's Feedback

      While reporting to a chain of command is important, this response needs a bit more development. In the "Revised Answer" section, I have included a suggestion for one way this response could be re-stated.
      "When I believe an unethical issue is occurring, I first try to make sure that I have a full understanding of the issue so I'm not jumping to any assumptions, and then I want to share my findings with my supervisor, so they can support me in making sure the issue is reported through the appropriate chain of command. Handling ethical concerns is always tricky, and I always want to make sure that I am following protocol."
