The Miami Herald reported on May 18,2017 that the recently hired Opa-Locka city manager, Ivette Harrell, used City Attorney Vincent Brown to represent her in a personal lawsuit of credit card debt. Neither, exposed their representation to Miami-Dade County Court. The first ethical issue I found in this case is omission lying. According to Ferrell chapter 3 (pg.69) “Omission lying is intentionally not informing others of any differences or problems that significantly affect behavior.” I believe government employee’s behavior can be affected by Brown’s actions by violating the code of ethics of a government institution.

Ethics is described as a branch of philosophy dealing with what is morally right or wrong (Merriam-Webster, 2016). These beliefs and ideas generally guide an individual’s behaviors and actions in a variety of life situations, including those within the workplace. In many healthcare organizations, there are a set of ethical principals that all employees are required to abide by and follow to ensure equality and fairness, but in human resources there are certain core principals professionals are responsible for contributing to and honoring in their role. According to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), there is a Code of Ethical and Professional Standards in Human Resource Management that details guidelines and expectations on professional responsibility, professional development, ethical leadership, fairness and justice and conflicts of interest (SHRM, 2014). As it relates to human resources role in ethical behavior in the workforce, I believe features of this code of ethics, such as setting standards to be examples for others, positively influencing workplace and recruitment practices and assuring a commitment to diversity in the organization, can be applied to the healthcare HR issues and concerns outlined in this paper.

Utilitarianism is a teleological ethical theory based on the idea that an action is moral if it causes the greatest amount of happiness for the greatest number of people. The theory is concerned with predicted consequences or outcomes of a situation rather than focusing on what is done to get to the outcome. There are many forms of utilitarianism, having been introduced by Jeremy Bentham (act utilitarianism), and later being updated by scholars such as J.S. Mill (rule utilitarianism) and Peter Singer (preference utilitarianism). When referring to issues of business ethics, utilitarianism can allow companies to decide what to do in a given situation based on a simple calculation. Many people would agree that this idea of promoting goodness
