In small groups, discuss the role of HR professionals in ‘taking the lead’ in promoting a more ethical organisation. How successful do you think they have been? Do you think this should be a lead role of HR professionals and departments? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response?
? Consider the history of the HRM profession and its traditional role as what Ulrich
describes as the ‘Employee Champion’
? What are the arguments for taking on a leading role in promoting a more ethical
organisation? What are the advantages for the profession and the organisations?
? How may the credibility of the HRM profession in ‘business focused’
organisations have limited the opportunity to fulfil such a role?
? Use Verbos et al.’s (2007), Positive, Ethical Organisation model to consider how
these issues can be integrated as part of the value system of the organisation and
embedded into the core systems of the organisation, including those for which
HR is responsible
