                 Social, Ethical and Legal Responsibilities

Introduction

In this task I will define social, ethical and list all the self-regulatory and legal laws I will also be explaining how social, ethical and legal responsibilities affect the recruitment and selection process.

Moral

This is something that a person believes what is right and what is wrong. A person own moral might be different to other because it depends on how they have been brought up and what their religion tells them .e.g. in Islam the believers are told not to drink alcohol and this is something that they can’t do no matter what their own values are. Another example can be that a child is told not to smoke and so he might not smoke because of what his parents have told him.

Social Responsibility

These are duties that an organization has to take care of because it applies to the employees, customers and the environment. It will benefit to the society because of the following:

  • Benefits to the Society: if my chosen school hires new employees than it will be helping the society as more people will have jobs, if a business manufactures good and becomes responsible than it will produce less hazardous pollution. in my chosen school it will help the society because they will take care of all the rubbish that is lying around the school, they will also make sure that their aren’t any hazardous chemicals from the science department going into the water.
  • Improved Quality of Life: people will feel happy about themselves, it will keep them motivated. In my school the students and the staff will be happier because of the way that the school runs it will give them a fresh environment to work in.

It will also be beneficial to the business because of the following:

  • Improved financial position of the business: customers will be more likely to purchase from the business, other business may also like to work with the business. The business reputation will increase because customers will be more satisfied. For my school it will affect the parents because they will be happier with how the schools runs are so are likely to recommend their own children and other parents to admit their children to this school.
  • Reduced costs: environmentally friendly may cost less to the business. For a school one example can be the paper that is used if the normal paper is replaced with recycled paper it will be cheaper.
  • Enhance business Image: Customers will likely to be attracted to a business because of high reputation.
  • Increase in sales: because customers are more satisfied they are more likely to buy goods from the business.
  • The employees are likely to stay and work for the business if the business is socially responsible, this is because they will know that they are not harming the environment and so the business is a safe and a good place to work.

There are also drawbacks to the firm for being socially responsible and these are listed below:

  • The business might have to find alternatives in order to because responsible and these might cost the business more because the alternatives might be costly e.g. Replacing plastic bags with paper bags will cost the business more.
  • Different people might have different views which might clash.
  • The market can affect the business because if it’s doing well than the managers will be focused and can concrete on the social side. for example if the business is running low on profit than ...
