Exploring Ethics and Ethical Reasoning in HR


Listen Later

We dig into the ethics of HR, discussing situational lying and its implications for employees. We explore the fine line between lying and omission in organizations. Special guests Jason Walker and Rey Ramirez introduce Thrive HR, their advisory and consulting firm, and share their expertise in recruiting, fractional HR, and AI applications.

We question the boundaries of transparency, ethics and ethical reasoning, situational lying, pay equity, and effective communication in leadership.
