Abstract

HR managers are specialists who adjust all processes of search, adaptation, motivation, development and evaluation of company personnel, so they must perform their professional duties in accordance with established standards of moral ethics. The article examines the level of definition of the concepts of "professional ethics" and "HR-management" in the works of scientists, and proves the need to consider the general concept of "professional ethics in HR management". A number of ethical issues in HR-management that arise during employment, determination of rewards and benefits in labor relations, as well as possible consequences of unethical behavior that manifests itself in the form of business risk and can negatively affect the activities of the business entity are highlighted. The process of ensuring compliance with professional ethics through personnel policy, adoption of ethical codes and establishment of organizational structure is outlined. Measures are proposed to implement the norms of professional ethics in the personnel sphere in the forms of establishing uniform rules for the activities of the company's employees; giving priority to the professional development of each staff member and taking into account his moral and psychological state to ensure competitiveness in the market; implementation of the principles of inclusion and diversity in the selection of personnel, their development and motivation; conducting relevant trainings; ensuring the confidentiality of personnel information; development of local codes of ethics adapted to the conditions of the enterprise. Thus, compliance with ethics in HR-management ensures the company's image, customer loyalty and increased attractiveness among qualified employees on the labor market.
