Navigating the Ethical Issues in HR
in the Era of COVID
presented by Steven Mintz
"It is not that most people are inherently unethical. Instead, the problem is that many people are unconscious of the fact that nearly everything that they do has an ethical dimension.”
- Steven Mintz
An ethical organization starts with an ethical leader who sets the tone at the top and fosters ethical behavior in all organizational systems and in all interrelationships, including with employees, suppliers, customers, the government, and the community at large. When facing a global public health crisis such as COVID-19, ethical considerations provide important guidelines to ensure workplace safety and flexibility, transparency, individual responsibility, and effective decision-making.
Learning Objectives include:
- Meeting the challenges for human resource professionals during the pandemic.
- Implementing an ethics of care approach in the workplace during Covid-19.
- Impact of Covid-19 on ethical culture
