Ethics is a fundamental policy. There should be common ethical values which form the backbone of the functioning of an organization. It is not possible to have seperate ethics for each functionality in an organization. Ethics and code of conduct are central values. It is however, possible to have centralised ethics and values and tailor them to each functionality in an organization.

Company ethics and policies are the governing principles and are a larger entity, HR ethics and policies are part of it. Though HR being a critical function plays the role of a guardian of company ethics and policies, company policies and ethics are always over and above HR policies and ethics.

the role of HR in companies' ethics management efforts is always problematic. Companies should in fact become more ethical because it's a concern shared by people at all levels within the business hierarchy. The vast majority of companies, particularly larger ones, should follow a written standards of conduct comprising employer-employee's interest...

I agree, I see HR is in a fix and need to protect their own jobs too. HR was created to counter the threat unions created managing to alienate both employees and management. Now HR has become a weak shadow of the management, pitifully moaning to the employees on it's ineffectiveness to shield and stand up for the employees as needed. Solutions? Maybe a 'protected' HR community site/organization external to all companies that ALL HR must be a member of (like CA) that can bear pressure on managements to be ethical. Maybe even such an organization can be a force to advise and drive governments to action to change labor laws and implement them effectivly.

Dear Kannan, Its true what you are saying, but still in practical, this unetical practice is going on, HR people are trating themselves as other employees, & organization specially sme's are doing this practice & HR people are looking this silently, b'coz they do not want to get out of job. Now my question is how we can make awareness & stop these practices. I understand, that organization always comes first, but why HR people are not taking initiatives for it, that the measure question, only for the sake of money or job, how they can accept the wrong thing & implementing the same.
