View this Ethical Dilemma to learn more about Bill and Joe’s relationship. 

Joe has scheduled a meeting with his management team for next week to talk about the Peninsula Hotel chain contract. He hopes that he will be able to work with them to draft a contract favorable to Peninsula that will ensure its renewal for another year. He is reasonably sure that the contract renewal will ensure his continued success and employment with UWEAR. Bill invites Joe and his family to join them on his yacht for the weekend.

Joe is relieved to get the invitation from Bill because their relationship has been strained lately due to the contract negotiations.

Joe must decide how he will answer Bill’s invitation to join him and his family on their yacht.

Using ethical principles that you have learned thus far to justify your answers, please respond to the following questions in a paper of 500–700 words:

question-

 Discuss the adverse impact of stereotyping in the workplace. Give detailed examples of various HR functions where stereotyping may occur. Examine the consequences of stereotyping as they relate to an employer’s exposure to liability. 

students response

Stereotyping is seen in the workplace daily. An example of this in the workplace would be with performance review and promotional opportunities. The textbook gives a great example of sexual stereotyping, where a man and woman are held to different standards during a performance review. The woman ends up getting a negative performance review based on her “charm” and “un-lady like appearance and personality” (Page 195). She was also passed up for a promotion based on this. Despite the fact that the employer was able to pinpoint additional reasons she was passed up for the promotion, the judge voted in her favor because some of the reasons that she was denied a promotion attributed to her un-lady like appearance/behavior. The consequences of this not only include lawsuits such as this one, but also depriving the company of someone more deserving and qualified. Basing a promotion on someone’s appearance is a disservice to the employee and company as a whole. It also leads to low morale, a lack of confidence in upper management’s decision making, and distrust of the organization.

Another example could be found in an employment situation. A hiring committee could look differently on a pregnant applicant vs. a single professional. The hiring committee could make an assumption that the pregnant applicant would be distracted by her duties as a parent to focus on work and hire the single applicant based on availability and perceived dedication. This could also be a missed opportunity for the company to hire a more qualified candidate. As well, this would be seen as a discriminatory act which could lead to lawsuits based on the final tally and committee remarks.

I think in today healthcare industry health laws and regulation is essential and plays a big part in the healthcare industry. Health laws are use to engage in committed goals. Laws and regulation help observe the knowledge that have created oversights in life and even the healthcare field. These laws and regulations in the federal, state and local bodies of legislatives rules, effectively supports and protects the public and make sure the medical staff is both efficiently receiving the proper compensation and high standards that are given in the healthcare industry.(Maryville University, 2020). Laws and regulations are usually set so one can follow, and not to violate any rules that are set in stone to protect the patients and physicians. The biggest impact on laws and regulation in the healthcare industry, I think is the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This act brought mandatory subsidized healthcare to the U.S. but is only one part of the ACA. The patient part of the act that is called The Patients Protection and Affordable Care Act is what has the biggest part of the healthcare compliance. August 12, 2019
