Required Assignment 1 – Ethical and Legal Issues in Merger

HR ethics are important to
organizations as they can have legal and moral implications. In this
assignment, you will develop a plan to resolve some of the ethical and legal
issues involved in a merger. Use the Argosy University online library and
textbooks to read about ethical and legal issues.

Consider the following scenario:

As part of the employment contracts, employees have certain
rights. For example, employees have the right to not be coerced into situations
against their will. They expect to be able to access the information, which
affects their job, company, and career. Such work situations can increase
stress, lower self-esteem and productivity, cause loss of trust, and decrease
efficiency.

Good
employees who are looking for a more secure work environment may resign and
take valuable tacit knowledge and talent with them. It is the responsibility of
HR management to create an ethical work environment before, during, and after
the merger.
