¶ … Ethics and Diversity Proposal
Twenty-first century institutions face pressures of globalization, often requiring them to adapt to new paradigms so as to "harness all opportunities to cultivate sustainable means for development and human existence" (Darroux, 2013, p. 4). Social networking and workplace diversity are two of the most significant effects of globalization. To be successful in the highly competitive 21st century marketplace, human resource personnel have to appreciate the power of the aforementioned resources and integrate the same into their strategic plans to generate innovation and cohesiveness (Darroux, 2013).
Ethical Consideration
Organizational policy currently bars employees from using social networking sites in the workplace on grounds that quality time would be wasted if such authority was granted. This, in my view, poses both an ethical and social concern. I do not think it is fine to maintain guidelines focusing on controlling employees' social networking behavior when we have the capability to channel its use in creative and positive directions that can be beneficial to both the company and the employees.
There is no doubt that surfing the web during office hours would have an effect on security and organizational productivity;...
As a matter of fact, "more than half of the Fortune 100 companies have Twitter accounts," which they use to foster such productivity-enhancement tasks as customer service (Darroux, 2013). Some of the core benefits that could accrue from social networking are increased ability to meet corporate social responsibilities, better identification of potential new trends and monitoring of competitors, increased market coverage, and improved avenues for conducting research (Darroux, 2013). Besides, with the invention of the smart phone, it is becoming increasingly difficult to enforce the current restrictions on internet usage. Eventually, it may be more costly to restrict such usage than it would be to allow it, and then establish ways of channeling it in a productive direction
Recommendation
I would recommend the integration of social networking into the planning process and the alignment of human resource management with the same. This would ensure that human resource personnel and organization executives work together towards integrating social networking into the organization, just as they do in ensuring compliance with internal and external regulations…

Human Resources Management If what is learned in an important college or university course is not put to use in some pragmatic way -- or understood in the larger social context -- then that learning may be viewed as meaningless time spent. No doubt there is a percentage of students that are simply going through the process of education, working for a degree that will open doors and lead, hopefully, to
The U.S. Supreme Court has given employers "little choice" in the matter, Boyd explains. If a company "can prove" they took "reasonable care" in order to prevent or to correct inappropriate behavior, under the law they have (in many cases) "safe harbor" from punitive damages (Boyd, p. 332). The author states that sexual harassment training "…has evolved to become an ornate administrative display which has the appearance of concern…" but
Frank and Taylor (2004) warn that motivating employees is highly dependent on their specific wants and needs. An accounting firm that mostly hires conservative, serious-minded employees who value efficiency above all else are not likely to be motivated by the offer of a life coach or a concierge. They would probably be much more motivated by a good 401k plan. However, that does not mean that all types of
Things run relatively smoothly overall, but they could be vastly improved if there were more communication channels and if more people in the company felt like HR personnel were more approachable and easier to talk to.
