by Natalie EllisLeave a Comment on Ethical Dilemmas in HR: When You’re Asked to Cross the Line…

As HR professionals, we often find ourselves at a crossroads of organisational interests and ethical responsibilities. Achieving a balance, being aware of our responsibilities, all whilst juggling the needs of the business and ethical boundaries; it is no wonder that I get asked this often at events I speak at.
