Use the resource and tools to support ethical organisational climates and non-statutory ‘speak up’ channels
Ethical practice is a core behaviour in the Profession Map. It builds trust by role-modelling ethical conduct and applying clear principles and values in decision-making. Its purpose is to deliver positive outcomes for people, the organisation and wider society.
The CIPD evidence review Impact of human resource management found that responsible ethics-led HR practices were linked to stronger organisational performance (such as productivity and in-role performance) and improved employee outcomes (such as employee wellbeing and organisational climate).
This guide focuses on the practical aspects of implementing and maintaining ethical organisational practice.
