Ethics and Confidentiality Questions

Evaluate commitment to integrity, confidentiality, and ethical standards in human resources practice. Candidates should demonstrate how they protect sensitive employee information, avoid and disclose conflicts of interest, apply ethical judgment when business pressure conflicts with fair treatment, document decisions, and escalate concerns appropriately. Interviewers may use hypothetical scenarios about confidentiality breaches, competing stakeholder pressures, or investigatory findings to assess adherence to legal obligations and professional standards.
