Learning Objective

  • To define what is meant by ethics.
  • To explain why ethics is important.
  • To review how organizations use codes of conduct to regulate ethics.
  • To summarize why codes of conduct are often not enough to deal with “gray areas”.
  • To analyze how common ethical challenges in HR can be identified and overcome.
  • To review how the unique HR challenges in your organization can be identified and overcome.

Course Overview

Our actions affect not only ourselves but also those around us. Many of our professional decisions involve ethics. Questions of morality and ethics can be found at all levels of society. The choices and decisions we must make, the demands on our lives—both at work and at home—and the fast-paced world we live in often make it difficult for people to discern the ethical from the unethical.

It seems obvious to say that human resources involve people. But any effort to help people—and that is the real nature of HR—can prompt special ethical challenges. And that is especially true with HR.

At its core, ethics in human resource management boils down to moral philosophy. It is framed by how an individual or company’s morality influences the decisions made and the behaviors exhibited. It is important to recognize the distinction between what is the law and what is ethical. It is possible for a behavior to technically be legal, while still being considered unethical.

Following are the major questions that are answered in this CPE course:

  • What are key ethical challenges faced in HR?
  • Why are these challenges important?
  • How can these challenges be addressed and overcome?
  • How can ethical challenges regarding HR issues in your organization be identified and addressed?

In this online CPE webinar, speaker William Rothwell will address these important questions and shall enable you to develop skills to discern the ethical paths in Human Resource Management.

A Certified Professional in Talent Development (CPTD) with a dual-title Ph.D. in Workforce Education & Development and Comparative International Education from the Pennsylvania State University. 

With over 25 years of experience in the learning and development field, the common thread that aligns my professional focus is the need to understand the challenges in cultivating an engaged and motivated work environment from the lens of improvement. As Dr Deming stated, “improve constantly and forever” with a focus on progress and evolution through incremental changes. As the world of work continues to change and evolve, so must the workplace learning strategies, including the professionals who implement these changes.

Master’s thesis was an exploratory case study on the implementation of diversity initiatives that utilized OD concepts as an approach to a planned change process involving the entire organization.

Dissertation research: The United Nations has recognized the importance of addressing the “worldwide shortage of health workers” (WHO, 2017, p. 4); and the World Bank has calculated a global shortage of 7.6 million nurses and midwives by 2030. This shortage is having adverse effects on health systems around the world (Oulton, 2006), and is leaving governments with a problem in urgent need of solving. A comparative case study was conducted to describe migration flow (magnitude and direction) of migrant Filipino nurses employed in North-America Sub-Group (the US and Canada) and the Middle-East Sub-Group (Saudi Arabia and the UAE). The research examined the ‘push’ and ‘pull’ factors that influence the return of migrant nurses back to their home country. Influencing conditions of migration include (1) economic factors, e.g., wage differentials or purchasing value; (2) political factors, e.g., work visas or bilateral agreements; and (3) socio-cultural factors, e.g., work environment, social connections, and acculturation.
