    For an organization to have a positive culture, ethics and performance management must work together. The emphasis on values and morals in HR ethics has a direct effect on company reputations. Setting HR ethics as a top priority fosters an environment at work that respects equality, human rights, and talent protection. This has a positive impact on performance management by raising employee morale and guaranteeing justice. HR plays a key role in hiring, onboarding, training, communication, and performance management. These responsibilities highlight the value of ethics in guiding staff members and fostering a legal workplace. Fundamentally, by fostering an equitable, moral, and growth-oriented workplace, performance management and ethics alignment promotes organizational success.
