Ethical decisions are the responsibility of managers only

Ethics applies mainly to regulated or client‑facing roles

Ethics matters only if a complaint is received

All PPS employees share responsibility for ethical conduct and escalation

Accept it and keep it private

Pause and check PPS guidance, then disclose or decline as appropriate

Accept it since it is low‑value

Ignore it unless someone raises a concern

Assume it is acceptable since no one has raised it

Ignore the issue to avoid delaying delivery

Wait to see if it becomes a bigger problem

Escalate the concern and apply the correct process

Ethics and morals mean the same thing

Morals are more important than ethics in the workplace

Ethics are shaped by external standards, while morals are personal beliefs

Morals are defined by workplace policies

Escalating a concern through the correct channel

Asking for guidance when unsure

Leaving out information from a report to avoid delays

Following an approved PPS process

Doing what others commonly accept

Following instructions without question

Doing what feels right in the moment

Acting honestly, fairly and responsibly in line with PPS policies and standards
