What makes a job ethical? Who truly holds power in the workplace? And why does it matter now more than ever?
In Employment Ethics: Redefining the Employer-Employee Relationship, these questions form the foundation for a fresh perspective on modern work. For too long, ethical responsibility has been unfairly placed on workers, while employers-driven by profit and protected by power-often avoid accountability. This book challenges that imbalance by redefining employment as a transactional relationship, not a personal favor or moral crusade.
Drawing from real-world examples, historical context, and foundational principles such as Maslow's hierarchy of needs, this book offers a clear, accessible guide to understanding what ethical employment should look like in practice.
Inside, you'll discover:
- The four core pillars of work ethic-and how they're often exploited
- Why employers are not inherently leaders-and shouldn't be treated as such
- The hidden cost of toxic and imbalanced workplace dynamics
- What employer ethics are-their history and why they matter
- Practical tools for evaluating your current employment relationship
Whether you're a gig worker, office employee, frontline nurse, or engineer, Employment Ethics empowers you to recognize unethical practices, demand better, and understand your value in any workplace.
Employment ethics is more than just fair wages and inclusion. It is employee well-being, employer legacy, and community sustainability.
Let's redefine our relationship with work...on our terms.
