Preamble:
As HR practitioners in the following categories –
- Certified Human Resources Professionals,
- CHRP Candidates, or
- CHRP Exam Registrants,
we commit to abide by all requirements of the Code
of Ethics of the Canadian Council of Human Resources Associations
(CCHRA), as listed in this document. (Where provincial codes are
legislated, those will prevail.)
Competence
Maintain competence in carrying out professional responsibilities
and provide services in an honest and diligent manner.
Ensure that activities engaged in are within the limits of one’s
knowledge, experience and skill.
When providing services outside one’s level of competence,
or the profession, the necessary assistance must be sought so as
not to compromise professional responsibility.
Legal Requirements
Adhere to any statutory acts, regulation or by-laws which relate
to the field of Human Resources Management, as well as all civil
and criminal laws, regulations and statutes that apply in one’s
jurisdiction.
Not knowingly or otherwise engage in or condone any activity or
attempt to circumvent the clear intention of the law.
Dignity in the Workplace
Support, promote and apply the principles of human rights, equity,
dignity and respect in the workplace, within the profession and
in society as a whole.
Balancing Interests
Strive to balance organizational and employee needs and interests
in the practice of the profession.
Confidentiality
Hold in strict confidence all confidential information acquired
in the course of the performance of one’s duties, and not
divulge confidential information unless required by law and/or where
serious harm is imminent.
Conflict of Interest
Either avoid or disclose a potential conflict of interest that might
influence or might be perceived to influence personal actions or
judgments.
Professional Growth and Support of Other Professionals
Maintain personal and professional growth in Human Resources Management
by engaging in activities that enhance the credibility and value
of the profession.
Enforcement
The Canadian Council of Human Resources Associations works collaboratively
with its Member Associations to develop and enforce high standards
of ethical practice among all its members.
