Title: Legal, ethical, and risk issues in human resources
Journal: Effective Human Resources Management in the Multigenerational Workplace
Human resources evolved after industrialization when labour welfare
became the main social reform across industries. It deals with vast
functions like employment, wage and salary administration, industrial
relations, organizational planning and development, and employee
services for the workforce. Therefore, human resources must frame their
policies, rules, and regulations within the legal and ethical frameworks of
the nation in which the organization is operating. Adherence to legal and
ethical bases define organization’s health such as productive efficiency,
labour turnover, internal mobility, complaints and grievances, accidents,
and other related parameters that indicate
profitability, sustainability, social justice, and others.
Historical growth and development underwent
tremendous changes due to technological
intervention in human resource functions. The
major push in digital transformation was due
to uncertainties and ambiguities resulting from
the COVID-19 pandemic that caused changes
in structure, workforce, and decision-making
processes of organizations globally.
