HR Ethics: Building Ethics with Multisource Appraisals and Coaching
Performance Appraisal Tools
There are many successful business leaders who have stumbled due to ethical lapses. Some of these cases have involved violations of company policies and/or business laws, while others have been linked to poor decision-making and improper behaviors. What's particularly troubling about many of the more high-profile ethical scandals is that the leaders were considered by many to be at the top of their game. Mark Hurd, who had an improper relationship with a contractor while he was CEO of Hewlett-Packard, Scott Thomson, the previous CEO of Yahoo who faked having a computer science degree, and Kathryn Abbate, the previous CEO who stole $7 million from a heath center located in Miami, are all examples of individuals who ignored their ethical compasses. But why do these ethical failures occur? Evidence suggests that there are more opportunities for ethical transgressions as leaders get promoted up through the ranks of business. For instance, leaders often have more autonomy and more access to information, which can encourage them to do the wrong thing. Work–life imbalance can also be an issue for some executives, which can increase their stress levels. Greed, arrogance, and an entitlement mentality can be concerns. Finally, the culture of an organization, assuming it is unethical, can prompt leaders to behave in a risky manner. So what can companies do to prevent the ethical lapses of business leaders? It should come as no surprise that many of the steps involve solid performance management. Here are some key considerations: •
• Develop and promote an organizational culture that is ethical and stress this culture during onboarding so that leaders understand the importance of ethics at work. •
• Use 360-degree evaluations to provide leaders a multitude of feedback from different raters who can identify performance issues. •
• Apply coaching when necessary to help individuals

Diversity and Discrimination in the Restaurant Industry (CLO1)
The experiences of different restaurant industry firms illustrate how employment issues can affect organizations. Several examples are described next.

Heilman, Manzi and Braun (2008, p. 90) found that:

Adele, head of human resources at Techstellung, was becoming concerned about Zola’s work ethic. Zola had been with the company for five years and had been a competent if not stellar employee. However, following a bicycle accident several months ago, Zola’s attitude toward her manager and her work had changed. For the past four months, Zola seemed to take short breaks often and no one knew where she went. When she returned, she smelled of marijuana. Zola’s co-workers were complaining that she was not doing her share of the work, and they were having to cover for her. Zola's supervisor tried to speak with her about her behavior. Zola told him to "take a flying leap of a tall building" followed by some muttered words making rude suggestions.
As a result of the supervisor’s report on Zola’s use of marijuana during work hours and his attempted conversation with Zola, Adele decided it was time to terminate Zola's employment. Adele called Zola into her office, and told her she was terminated…
