For this week, discuss your thoughts on the following ethical dilemma: You work in HR at a major consulting firm and one of the consultants comes to you and says that he cannot in good faith take an assignment at the Philip Morris company because they make products that kill people. How would you handle the situation? Once you have posted your response, respond to at least two other students.

"This is a very interesting topic. It is easy to say that this particular consultant does not have an option and have to take the assignment regardless of his/her beliefs. I believe that having high morale in the workplace is a plus. Given that the consultant's beliefs are very strong regarding this matter, I would see if there are any other consultants that would be willing to take this particular assignment. No, I would not want to create_a habit of consultants saying they do not want to take particular assignments for certain beliefs. However, I would want my consultants to feel comfortable when they are taking on assignments. I feel that when consultants are comfortable with assignments the firm will receive much better results. It is okay for the HR department to work with employees at times to help assist them to succeed in companies. If I were to simply say no to this particular consultant and give him an ultimatum, then he/she may decide to quit and work elsewhere. She/he may have been a huge benefit to the company prior to this situation. There are many things to take in to consideration while working in HR before making a decision. This helps build morale in the workplace and employees with have more respect for the company. This shows employees that the company does care about their concerns."
