The industry has growing concern about ethical behavior of new employees andprospective employees. The industry typically states that one of their most valuable assets is theirreputation and that their reputation is directly related to their ethical behavior. The constructionindustry as a whole will be better off when the majority of the employees will become aware oftheir ethical responsibilities to the people, the workers and the industry.
