Can you solve question number 2? ETHICAL SCENARIOConsultancy: 'Fast Cars' rental facilityThere are 30 staff working for Fast Cars, as well as a CEO, an HR manager and an accountant. Staff turnover is at 15per cent every month and many of the employees have recorded numerous motor vehicle offences and some evenboast criminal records. According to the HR manager the majority of staff are in the age range 20-30 years. Thereare 28 male employees and two females on staff. The HR manager said, It is difficult to find staff... most peoplewho walk in the front door will be given a job ... even if it's only for a week. The HR manager appeared to bealmost resigned to the idea that there was no solution to the turnover problems or the standard of staff employed.continued202Part 2 Building human resource management systemscontinuedA very ad hoc and casual level of training is provided for new employees. Basically, new employees are assignedto an employee who has worked in the organisation for longer than 1 week. Therefore, a new employee couldpossibly be trained by someone who has not understood the procedures and potentially could be training the newstaff member in ways contrary to normal practice. This also raises the issue of workplace health and safety training.The HR manager explained her rationale for not providing orientation and ongoing training: When you have thelevel of turnover we have here you stop trying to provide the right training ... we just get them in and keep themas long as possible. An issue for any existing employee who might remain in the organisation for any length oftime is that they generally have their requests for training and develòpment denied. One reason is that there arealways several staff members away on sick leave or a number who just fail to turn up for work.After observing the staff, many daily practices were identified as being inappropriate, unethical and in somecases dangerous. For example, at the reception desk there were two girls, and each had inappropriate photographs,with discriminatory captions, pinned to noticeboards at their work stations and computer screensavers that wereclearly offensive. In the car park six attendants were responsible for cleaning and parking recently returned cars.Within a 1-hour period it was observed that two of the attendants reversed the cars at such a high speed theycaused damage to the vehicles. The attendants stepped out of the vehicles, showed no concern and found theiractions humorous. Staff then recorded the damage on the previous driver's paperwork. Clearly clients would beunsuspecting until they received notices in the mail and debits on their credit cards. The CEO and the HR managercited turnover as the rationale behind why they turned a blind eye to these practices. The quality of employees;their recruitment, training and development; and appropriate and ethical practice are paramount in this casescenario.CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS1 What kind of advice would you give to the HR manager of these employees?2 What do the employees and their managers need to learn about appropriate (without discrimination) andethical practice?
