Top ten unethical workplace behaviours revealed

Unethical behaviour is widespread in the UK workforce, according to a recent study which revealed the top ten most common workplace misdemeanours.

The survey of over 1,600 managers by the Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM) found that almost three quarters (72%) had witnessed employees lying to cover their mistakes, with the same number reporting their colleagues cut corners and delivered substandard work.

A further 68% had seen people badmouthing team members behind their backs.
