Humam Resource Management (HRM) deals with work force management, manpower planning and other employee related activities in an organization. Therefore, we can say that it is a special branch of management where ethics play a very crucial role.
HRM concerns human issues, especially those related with compensation,development,industrial relations, health and safety issues. However, there are sufficient disagreements in managing HRM issues from various quarters.


                                     

HRM Ethics :-

Out of all organizational issues or policies, ethical considerations are the most difficult to deal with. Issues arise in employment, remuneration and benefits, industrial relations, health and safety. 

                      

Important Clusters of HRM related with Ethics :-

Some HRM issues are more important than the rest because we , as human beings, are more responsible for the development and empowerment of the human resources involved in the operation and management of organizations. Some of these issues are discussed below.

Cash and Compensation Plans :- There are some ethical issues which are similar to the employee salaries, executive persquisites,

compensation and annual incentives plans etc. The HR department is often under pressure to increase the band of base salaries. There is always an increased pressure upon the HR functions to pay out more incentives to the top management and they provide justification for the same to retain them. 

Race, Gender and Disability :- There are several examples of organizations where , until recently, the employees were treated differently based on the race, gender, origin and their disability. This is not the case anymore since the evolution of laws and in a regulatory framework for the employee behaviour. In ethical organisations, the only factor of appraisal performance.

Employment Issues :- Human resource managers face many dilemmas in hiring employees. Another major dilemmas arises due to employees who are later found to have fake documents. Both of the issues are critical . In the first case, the person may have been trained and filling the position is critical. In the second case , the person may be efficient in his work and have the right kind of attitude. Both the situations are tough and HR managers face such cases day in and day out.

Privacy issues :- There are many ethical issues in HR that are related to health and safety, restructuring, and layoffs and employee responsibilities . A debate is still going on whether some activities are ethically permitted and why some are not. Layoffs , for example, are not considered unethical as they were thought of in the past.
