Primary Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 200-250 words by Friday that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments.

For this Discussion Board, please complete the following:
In Unit 4, we are concerned with the many ways in which ethics matters in the workplace. Employee benefits are an important part of how an organization treats its employees. For example, Lena appreciates how her employer provides health insurance and other benefits that help her strike a work-life balance. However, she was upset when they did not offer her extended parental leave when her child was born.
In this discussion board, you will have an opportunity to look at the obligations a company has to the health and well-being of its employees as it creates policies or chooses employee benefits.
