Moral codes and ethical considerations of a company are considered as a significant aspect that a
business organisation must follow. In fact, the moral codes and ethical considerations are associated
with the workplace safety, free from discrimination, against workplace bullying and transparency in
employee payments and salary structure (Scott 2016). Therefore, it is the responsibility of the HR
5

manager to deal with these issues generally. However, there are other types of issues that the HR
manager can face also.
In this context, the role of the HR manager is to let inform the higher authority about the
importance and significance of enlisting some ethical and moral standards that all the employees
irrespective of their ranks and designations must follow. In addition to this, there are some legal
proceedings that the HR manager will mention in order to take necessary steps in case of any violation
in the ethical standards. In course of the action I am going to take some measures mentioned in my
action plan in order to facilitate a better progress towards good HR manager. Moral and ethical factors
are the essential part in this regard that are lingered with my personal development. In fact, my moral
obligations will help me to establish a strong and impartial decision making practice in my action.
