Module 01 Ethics Project – Name Your Company

Project OverviewHuman Resources (HR) is a gift and a curse. Some employees run around doing all they can to hide their actions from HR, while others allow HR to make their lives easier and more fruitful. The Human Resources Department was created to serve the needs of the business, which often times include, employee satisfaction. In fact, the more satisfied and taken care of an employee feels, the more profitable and productive the company will be. Unfortunately, the ultimate goal is for HR to protect the company they were created to support and often time’s employees are left stranded. Therefore, HR Departments have begun being proactive and educating their employees on ethical actions or the omission of certain actions which can lead to controversy in the workplace.For the course project this quarter you are going to place yourself into a role within the HR Department. It is your sole responsibility to educate your fellow employees to in turn better protect your company’s character. You will research ideas, reach out to your employees, present your ideas and wrap up to be sure everyone is on the same page.Due DateYour final project is due in Module 06.
