When asked ‘what is ethical employment’, the term ‘ethical employment’ might make you think initially of fair and unbiased hiring practices, moral codes, and commitment to diversity goals. And while none of these conceptions is wrong, the subject of ethical employment goes much deeper.
Ethical hiring is one of many terms used to describe how a company engages with its potential workforce.

This is regardless of job role, gender, race, religion, background, or economic status.
