Human resource departments’ responsibilities for ethics
With the knowledge that having sound ethics is important in the workplace, the next logical question is: Who should be responsible for the organizational ethics? Many point to the human resources department. Driscoll and Hoffman (1998), explain why HR departments should be responsible for implementing a company’s ethics program. They make a case for the view that business has a social responsibility, and also suggest seven basic questions to help establish objectives for a company’s ethics program, including establishing a set of standards, implementing these standards, and reevaluating the program efficiency and timeliness. They explain that “successful programs increase employee morale and foster a corporate culture that values honesty and integrity” (Driscoll & Hoffman, 1998,p. 123). They conclude that human resource departments are capable of establishing and implementing a successful ethics program. Mees and Bonham (2004) also suggest that corporate social responsibility and organizational ethics belongs to HR because this department can cut across all departments and systematically implement positive change. Vickers (2005) also weighs in on the subject of HR’s role in cultivating an ethic-friendly corporate environment. To be more specific, Vickers suggests that HR has four broad responsibilities
