HR as an Ethical Agent

“All I really need to know, I learned in Kindergarten” from Robert Fulghum is probably one of the most appropriate quotes when it comes to discussing, defining, and evaluating ethics in the workplace. Developing strong professional ethical practices, especially as an HR Professional, is a foundational competency for everything in life.

Remember learning not to take things that aren’t yours or put things back where you found them? How about simply not telling a lie? It’s all about integrity and acting as an example for your team and overall workforce in HR. As an HR Leader, you must absolutely display the highest level of ethical standards and ensure your organization (and fellow leaders) are doing the same. It doesn’t matter the size or industry. Developing and upholding strong ethical principles and practices is essential to success.

View this previously recorded HR event interactive with Hayley Buonopane, a 20-year HR subject matter expert. During this talk, our conversation leaders will discuss how best to define ethics in the workplace, HRs role in acting as an Ethical Agent and ways to address ethical dilemmas.
