Preamble: In a developing economy
like Egypt, it is essential to balance the demand
for economic growth and efficiency with respect
for our basic human values such as honesty, integrity,
respect for others and upholding high standards
of professionalism. It is the Human Resource Managers
who are uniquely positioned to lead this effort
to take Egypt into a new age of economic prosperity
without sacrificing our special quality of life
as moral human beings.
We can only serve this role if we ensure that the conduct of our members is such as to merit the respect and confidence of those we are trying to serve. To this end, we agree to abide faithfully to the following code of ethics, based on the fundamental principle that although an individual may obtain an advantage over another by resorting to unethical practices, such gain can only be temporary and will ultimately work to the detriment of the individual, the profession, the organization and the public interests.
This Code of Ethics expresses the guides for action in the relation of the Human Resource Professional with the employer, peers, colleagues and the general public and the community at large.
1. We will uphold the highest standards of our profession, continually search for new truths and disseminate our findings. We will keep ourselves fully informed of developments in the field of Human Resource Management and share this knowledge with others.
3. We will uphold our social responsibility by striving for the enhancement of organizational and individual performance, thereby helping to develop our nation socially and economically.
9. We will not hesitate to advise the employer to engage the services of a specialist on problems in which our experience or knowledge are not adequate.
