Hi all,
ETHICS IN THE PROFESSION IS THE COMMONLY HEARD TOPIC NOWADAYS. EVERYONE, INCLUDING HR MANAGERS, MUST FOLLOW ETHICS AND MORAL VALUES. THIS HAS LED ME TO THINK ABOUT CREATING TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR THE HR PROFESSION, AND I WOULD LIKE ALL OF YOU TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS. PLEASE PROVIDE THE TEN ETHICS TO BE FOLLOWED BY AN HR MANAGER, IN YOUR OWN VIEW.
WAITING FOR REPLIES! 😊

Hi Sumana,
Interesting one. In my opinion, ethics are something which one has to develop on their own in whatever ways possible. I don't understand your statement on why HR should also have ethics 🤯. I would say ethics are based on personal and professional life. In professional life, some ethics are mandatory for any person for success in their job:
1. Communication styles depending on the situation.
2. Easygoing and user-friendly 😊.
3. Updation, innovative, and challenging.
I could give only three. I would post more ethical qualities after a while.
Cheers,

Hi,
Good topic to discuss.
I belive there are different types of Ethics. Personal, Professional, Business, Political, Environmental etc.
Lets discuss about Professional Ethics, it concerns one's conduct of behaviour and practice when carrying out professional work. Such work may include consulting, researching, teaching and writing. The institutionalisation of Codes of Conduct and Codes of Practice is common with many professional bodies for their members to observe.
Apart from codes of ethics, professional ethics also concerns matters such as professional indemnity. Furthermore, as will readily be appreciated, no two codes of ethics are identical. They vary by cultural group, by profession and by discipline. The former of these three variations is one of the most interesting, as well as controversial, since it challenges the assumption that universal ethical principles exist. In some cultures, certain behaviours are certainly frowned upon, but in other cultures the opposite may be true. Software piracy is a good case in point, in that attitudes towards software piracy vary from strong opposition to strong support - attitudes that are supportable within a particular culture. At the end of these pages is a section called Cultural Perspectives, where we hope to point you to alternative perspectives of ethical standards, attitudes and behaviours..
A Code of Ethics enables us to:
Set out the ideals and responsibilities of the profession
Exert a de facto regulatory effect, protecting both clients and professionals
Improve the profile of the profession
Motivate and inspire practitioners, by attempting to define their raison d'ętre (underlying principle).
Provide guidance on acceptable conduct
Raise awareness and consciousness of issues
Improve quality and consistency
On the other hand, we must also consider:
Whether the so-called standards are obligatory, or are merely an aspiration
Whether such a code is desirable or feasible
Whether ethical values are universal or culturally relativistic
The difficulty of providing universal guidance given the heterogeneous nature of the profession
What the point is of specifying responsibilities, given the limited regulatory function of a code.
Let me know if we need some more discussion on this.

Every organization has to keep the interests of multiple stakeholders, e.g., shareholders, employees, and society at large. For example, in terms of political contributions: what does your company policy say on that? On the other end of the spectrum, in Social Accountability SA 8000, we seek to ensure adherence to workers' rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining by promoting trade unions. If you need a sample list, I can provide you with one that has been given to me by the All India Management Association and which they expect from their members.

Hi Sumana,
Ethics and moral values are not vague entities, but a clearly defined code of conduct which benefits the society, the organization, the customer base, and lastly the employees themselves. Integrity, loyalty, leadership, dedication, courage of conviction, and responsibility are some of the basics of moral code of conduct. The main issue of ethical conduct is the use of correct and fair means to achieve an objective. You can base your Ten Commandments on the above as building blocks.
