Notes

Reflecting to my current organisation which operates in UAE property sector, the relevance of ethics to people practice has been evaluated. In CIPD, CIPD (2021) had noted that immense scandals in modern workplaces on harassment and poor treatment of employees. These occurs when ethics are not integral to the manner in which organisations are operating.

  • Professionals are adhering to ethical standards, acceptable to public and possessing special knowledge and skills
  • Code of ethics are found governing the activities of every profession

Notes

As noted in ACP (2021), from a traditional context, professional was being identified as an individual receiving pay from particular knowledge or experiences. This has since changed where May (2019) identify a professional to include moral or ethical foundation in this practice of specific and well-established expertise.

Professionals are governed by distinct codes of ethics, professing commitment to competencies, integrity and morality, altruism and promotion of public good. They are accountable to those they are serving and society.

  • This is done through challenging others decisions, transparency and role modelling
