Abstract

The aim of the article is to emphasize the importance of a role HR managers play in creating, implementing and applying compliance and ethics programs in their organizations once owners and top-level managers include strict legal compliance and ethics into the overall strategy. Not only make HR managers sure that all HR practices are ethical but also they act as change agents and involve other managers and employees in the process of turning an organization into a truly compliant and ethical one. Furthermore, they help build a culture of integrity by selecting and promoting people who embody organizational values.
