which are faced by me during HR assistance and teamwork at Total Workforce FM Limited
Company. It also assist me in identifying and conveying the issues which are been faced and
getting appropriate solution for it. It will help in improving personal skills and attributes to gain a
proper and clear insight about professional development measures which are followed by the
firm.
Element 2: Reflection on ethical processes within a business environment
What?
The effective ethics related to HR operations and team processes will be followed which
will help in a significant planning of development measures which are carried out by Total
Workforce FM Limited Company. The ethical considerations that are undertaken by selected
recruitment agency will help in a significant planning of the value-system and appropriate code
of conduct within firm. The enterprise will look after significant measures which are required to
be taken to improve overall performance and ethical considerations which are undertaken within
the enterprise. This may involve legal regulations which guides and help to improve the business
environment. The organization is susceptible to face a wide range of ethics related issues which
will help in significant planning which will help in suitable planning and operations.
So what?
As the organization operated in the HR sector where it interacts and manages with a
greater range of people from various backgrounds. Hence, there is a chance to face a wider range
of ethical issues within business environment which will lead to a significant decrease in
performance of business organization. Lack of proper work and human resource related ethics
may lead to conflicts and failing of the organizational structure at Total Workforce FM Limited
Company. It will also impact the business environment, influencing the employees to have a
discontentment level within the business enterprise. Thus, in such case, developing a positive
work measures and effective handling of business operation simultaneously is a big challenge for
selected recruitment service provider enterprise. Some major ethical processes which are
followed within organization are:
Appropriate advertising: As the Total Workforce FM Limited Company is operating in
the management of the work force or recruitment measures of employees, this can be said that
the organization is liable to place proper advertisement and promotional mediums to make the
potential candidates or employees to be relatively aware about a job or vacancy. Ethical
5

considerations like placing correct information about job vacancy, not hiding or sabotaging any
sort of details related to safety concerns and other factors related to job. This will help in
inducing an effective and significant trust level within organization that will help in suitable
planning of the service measures which are carried out by selected recruitment agency firm.
Other than this, no unethical measures should be used or implied for job advertising
purpose. This is not only ethically wrong but also mislead the candidates that contact the
business enterprise for the job purpose. The organization is required to keep an immediate check
on such type of unethical process that can take place within organization. Suitable regulatory
measures are required to be taken in consideration by the organization. It will help in proper
planning and placing of the operations that supports the rise in maintain the ethical obligations at
the work place.
Developing appropriate contracts: In order to have a good and significant placing of
the ethics which will help in suitable management of contracts that will be developed between
the employee and the organization. As per the legal obligation of the contract law, the company
is liable to provide the feasible and appropriate working terms as per the job role and obligation
measures which are carried out by the Total Workforce FM Limited Company are required to be
clearly mentioned. As a contract will be developed the ethics related to transparency are required
to be maintained. Absence of ethics and regulatory measures which are taken by organization
while developing a work based operation may lead to severe confusion and conflicts within
business environment which may affect the overall performance of Total Workforce FM Limited
Company. This will help in significant rise in trust level and this will help in proper planning of
the operations in a significant manner (Stettina and et.al., 2018).
As the unethical considerations are been practiced within the organization, this may lead
to breaking down of contracts affecting not only business but also the professional policies and
performance of workers within organization. In order to prevent such condition, the organization
is required to plan and implement ethical practices within the organization.
Providing equal opportunity: This is a very important and significant ethical factor
which is required to be maintained in order to ensure equal treatment with each customer and
employee within the team. The HR assistance and other employees within the organization will
see through the factors that will help in providing the equal treatment to every employee at work
place. As per the equality Act, 2010, prevention of discrimination at work place, 1991 and health
6

and safety act, 2011 will look after suitable management of maintain the equality at the work
place. As the equal growth opportunity is provided to every employee regardless to gender,
nationality, ethnicity, religion and background.
This supports in improving the quality of operations which are followed by the
organization and hence, it will lead to carrying out of an ethical code of conduct and guidelines
which aids in suitable planning of the operations which is carried out by the recruitment service
provider firm. Besides this, implementing the ethical operations and treatment practices will
improve employee's goodwill towards the organization along with rise in loyalty level of
organization.
Ensuring a proper behavior at work place: The organization will look after
establishing a positive and ethical behavior which is carried out at work place of Total
Workforce FM Limited Company. The recruitment service provider agency will look after the
ensuring of a proper and positive work place behavior that will help in suitable rise in operations
which are carried out by the business enterprise (Mak, 2018. ). Preventing any sort of bullying,
harassment, indifference or ill treatment with employees at work place will help in improving the
ethical consideration of the organization. Other than this, a good and motivating behavior will
lead to good rise in team bonding and working together measures.
Now what?
Failing to ensure an effective behavior at the workplace will lead to have severe and
adverse consequences. It will also impact the organizations performance and goodwill among its
employees. As the employees will be well behaved and have a courteous approach towards each
other, the organization will tend to have a sustainable growth. All these measures will also help
in carrying out the operations which supports a good rise in operational capability and
functionality of organization. Apart from it, these ethical measures will help in improving the
efficiency of employees and enhancing the overall ethical framework within the organization.

gave my contribution within the business enterprise to carry out the proper planning of the
operations within the organization. As the organization is operating in the recruitment industry, I

in a significant planning of the recruitment and other work force related operations within
organization.
Besides this, various innovative approaches will also be implemented by me that will
help in the effective planning of recruitment and other business operations in a suitable manner.
Different innovative measures like use of digital mediums to promote the job vacancies, utilizing
the social media platforms and improving the quality of operations which are carried out by the
organization in a significant manner. Beside this, regular communication process can be
observed that will help in improving the quality of operations in a significant manner. All these
approaches will help in suitable planning of the action plans and activities related to recruitment

All these measures will impact the operations which will help in suitable planning of the

recruited by organization. I also see through implementation of the innovative ideas like
developing a communication channel, improving the effectiveness of the recruitment measures
which are carried out by the organization (Alcock and Satchell, 2018.). All these measures will
also help in improving the performance and sustainability of business enterprise within market.
