Balancing Goal Attainment and Ethics Employee monitoring is one example of an HRM policy that has an ethical implication and should be carefully considered before putting into practice. Employee monitoring consists of recording phone calls, reading emails and monitoring internet use. Drug testing is also an example of employee monitoring and organizations implement drug testing and electronic monitoring policies to improve workplace safety and productivity (Schwoerer, May, & Rosen, 1995).
