And it's not just businesses that get caught. Employees remain longer and work more productively if their employers are honest and fair. Employees are quicker to steal from unethical employers than principled ones. Fines and legal settlements can destroy small businesses and cripple large ones. Regulators are less likely to investigate companies known for fairness.
