HRCI: Profession In Human Resources: Employee Relations and Legislation

Negative behaviors have negative consequences. HR provides managers and employees with the documents to establish organizational policies and guidelines to ensure consistent communication.

When violations occur, they should be dealt with fairly across employees groups, following a documented process. Should the need arise for employees to exit the organization, regardless of the reason, courtesy and confidentially are extended.
