Overview of the webinar

The decisions and actions of individual leaders, including supervisors and managers at all levels, as well as HR professionals, play an important role in setting the overall organization’s ethical tone. After all, employees learn what is considered acceptable within the company as a direct result of observing the actions of those in formal and informal leadership roles. Simply put, the actions of an organization’s leaders greatly impact the overall organizational culture and determine whether it is truly defined by ethics or not.  

That’s right. No matter what a company’s code of ethics says or what its value statement is, it’s the behaviors of leadership that truly define organizational culture. As HR professionals, we have a significant impact on organizational culture, including the extent to which ethics is woven into the work environment.  

For an organization to have an ethics-focused culture, all leaders have a responsibility to behave in a manner consistent with the organization’s vision, mission, and values while also taking into account the potential impact on all stakeholder groups when making decisions. As HR professionals, we can directly impact the extent to which this is likely to happen in a variety of ways, including (but not limited to) training leaders at all levels on how to apply sound ethical principles in their decision-making, incorporating ethics into selection and promotion practices, and including an ethical component in performance management and other organizational systems.  

In other words, there’s a lot we can do in HR to play a key role in building an organizational culture defined by ethics. From setting an appropriate example of ethical leadership via our own actions to advocating for and implementing ethical human capital policies, procedures, and business practices, HR professionals can greatly influence organizational ethics.
