Assesses ethical decision making and stewardship of sensitive personnel information. Topics include identifying what information is private, applying confidentiality safeguards, balancing transparency with privacy and fairness, documenting decisions while protecting personal data, escalating to legal or senior leaders when appropriate, avoiding conflicts of interest, and mitigating bias and retaliation risks.
