806: A Masterclass in Ethics for Human Resources = Beginning Your HR Journey in Ethics and Critical Thinking | Sessions

You’re on a pedestal in HR. In challenging times, Human Resources professionals are held to a higher standard. Keeping your ethical skills sharpened is crucial as you solve tough decisions in real time, and this fast-paced session will help you practice exactly that.  

Ethics is a genuinely human function – based on caring that the outcome for others is best for them and that the result is the best for your organization. As Rush Kidder said, “Ethics is not blind impartiality, doling out right and wrong according to some stone-cold canon of ancient and immutable law. It’s a warm and supremely human activity that cares enough for others to want the right to prevail. “  The HR challenge that this master class focuses on is the balance of fairness and consistency. Learn and practice how to walk that fine ethical line with meaningful case studies and reference materials to help guide your HR path.

Learning Objectives:

• Use courage properly in “The Decisive Moment” when deadlines and difficult decisions collide, even when it means standing up for and communicating challenging situations with your coworkers or boss.
• Apply critical thinking skills under tight time frames and high standards.
• Determine when to turn a teammate's off-target decision into a teaching moment rather than a more difficult personal situation.
