Conference Ethical Practice Presentation
Task One – Conference presentation on ethical practice in business
In readiness for the session, prepare a presentation (slides and presenter notes) about ethical practice in business. The presentation should explore the importance of ethical values to people practice professionals, how they can be applied, and how ethical practices can impact positively on organisations.
Your presentation should cover all the points below and provide a convincing argument for ethical behaviour in business. Your audience will be a mixture of academics and practitioners, who will expect your presentation to include a range of relevant academic theory as well as practical examples to support your comments.
Requirements:
- Define the term professional and explain what it means to be a ‘people practice professional’. (1.1)
- Discuss the concept of ‘ethical values’, and how at least three ethical values that you hold personally impact (or could impact) on your work as a people practice professional. (1.2)
- Drawing on work or personal examples, analyse how you would/have:
- made an engaging and well-informed contribution to discussions to support the application of good people practice (1.3)
- taken responsibility for your work/actions, including recognising and rectifying mistakes(1.4).
- known when and how to raise concerns when issues such as organisational policies or leadership approaches conflict with ethical values or legislation. (1.5)
- Provide a robust argument for ethical people practice that is supported by academic theory and details both the business and human benefits of people at work feeling included, valued and fairly treated. (2.1)
- Using your own example of providing a people practice solution to meet a particular need, or a hypothetical example such as introducing a new policy or reward initiative, comment on how you would/have:
- ensured the ‘design’ of the solution was informed by engagement with others, particularly those most affected by the solution. (2.2)
- evaluated the impact of the solution in terms of how well it met the needs of and engaged all those it was aimed at. (2.3)
