Dear George
I can understand the situation u r in to. In my opinion it is never unethical to start something to save your indirect expenses and keep your workplace hassle free and make the employees think that it is also a part of their duty not leave the lights on while leaving, keeping their workplace clean and so on we are discussing about but at the same time the punishment can be in other ways like giving less increment while appraisal period, no promotions etc.
We can also think otherwise by motivating the employees who are well in manner and are following all the lines laid by management. give them proper attention, present them to the others during some general trainings or discussions. appraise them better, highlight them through best employee, best section or best department.
Keep taking some discussion sessions with employees to know what they think about it or what they are planning to do next because apart from attrition it can anytime lead to a dispute.
Regards
