Organizational Philosophies and Technology

In today’s society, technology has become a growing factor in our everyday lives. Technology is a big key to the way businesses run.

There are different ways that companies can use technology to help set up and manage ethical standards in the workplace. Some companies may sensor emails being sent to all of their employees to make sure that there are no personal emails being sent to one another. Some companies record phone conversations to make sure that the employees are doing what is needed to be done with their customer service phone calls.
