Good evening Dr. Lockhart and Classmates,
The diverse employee selection and retention human resource (HR) functions in health care have legal and ethical ramifications.
What are some of the diversity ramifications, and how does your (or any) organization characterize components such as minority programs?
Businesses with an effective diversity strategy will have a leading edge in employee productivity and retention.
At a time when the pending retirement of the baby boomers will strip the workforce of massive numbers of skilled workers, businesses will experience a shortage of workers to replace retirees.
An inclusive work environment is simply good business. The loss of one employee due to poor management practices is too many!( E. McArthur)
Some of the diversity ramifications that an organization can experience ties into discrimination in terms of employee selections.
There is a diverse pool of qualified candidate and if a company only concerns themselves with a limited pool justification of legal and ethical ramifications can be applied.
For example a company that only promotes or on board a certain demographic in management roles is one.
A bias stipulation on an applicants age bracket to block open opportunities to hire say for example a 50 year old medical coder with a credible amount of experience for the job.
Another would be a person with a disability that does hinder the position in which they are applying for.
Even with the laws in place to protect certain acts of discrimination it is still present in today's work force, I have been in its presence.

In the health care field some issues that minority face in health care with ethical and leagal issuess are discrimination and harassment. A health care organization have ethical rules and standards that help guide work place behavior and moral principle. Most organizations establish a 'Code of Ethics' that sets all organizations expectations regarding ethical issues such as provacy, conflict of interst discrimination and harassment and work place diversity. The Human Rsource Perssonel are respnsible for setting standards that promote ethical behavior in the facility.
When Human Resources are doing the hiring they have to take a ccountability for treating all potiential employees and the other employees that are already working with dignity and respect no matter the race or nationality they are. In Human Resources, they are responsible for most aspects for employee relations such as hiring, firing, compensation, benefits and leaves. The representative have all access to all employees sensitive information. This imformation is to be kept private because it is considered a ethical matter for 'HR' because human resources personnel have an obligation to maintain all confidentiality of an employees personal data with breaching these contract this could resort in legal issues that a health cae organization would not want to face. This is just as important as it is to maintain patients privacy of all medical records for all patients care. All human resource professionals must always ensure that the organization remains compliant at all times with the ant-discrimination and harrasment laws. For employees discrimniation or harassment is on the basis of race, gender, or religion that human resource personnel have to face daily and is something that have to be carefully handled in the health care organization. There are laws tht prohibit discrimination such as the Civil Rights Act and Americans with Disabilities Act help 'HR' representative to develop training and awareness programs to prevent this from happening in the work place to protect 'HR' and employees from these actions.
