Ethical Lapses

This article was very interesting to me. I didn't realize that so many people have encountered ethical lapses. The percentage of people encountering these lapses is much higher than I would have thought. It is strange that only 36% of the people that have encountered the lapses have been distracted by them. In one sense getting distracted from regular business routine is bad because the company will lose productivity but in another sense not getting distracted is bad. By not getting distracted by an ethical lapse people are understanding that they are occurring but not worrying about them. Is this then an ethical lapse on their part for not telling anyone? The reasons cited for why some ethical lapses aren't reported such as lack of comfort or confidence are reasonable but if the lapse that is occurring is large enough new ways should be created for people to have the confidence to stand up for what is right. It could be possible for companies to have people who work on pointing out ethical lapses in the workplace for a job. This is important because if one part of the business is going through an ethical lapse, all parts of the business will be affected in some way at some point.
