HR Role In Corporate Social Responsibility-The Status Of CSR In The Organization-Part 3

HR leaders can influence three primary standards of CSR—ethics, employment practices and community involvement—that relate either directly or indirectly to employees, customers and the local community, as outlined below. By considering these three CSR standards, HR leaders can then identify the CSR stage of their organization before making decisions to develop and implement CSR initiatives.

Ethics—Ethical standards and practices are developed and implemented in dealings with all company stakeholders. Commitment to ethical behavior is communicated in an explicit statement and is rigorously upheld.
Employment Practices—Human resource management practices promote personal and professional employee development, diversity at all levels and empowerment. Employees are valued partners, with the right to fair labor practices, competitive wages and benefits and a safe, harassment-free, family-friendly work environment.
Community Involvement—The Company fosters an open relationship that is sensitive to community culture and needs and plays a proactive, cooperative and collaborative role to make the community a better place to live and conduct business.
