Professional organizations such as SHRM (Society of Human Resource Management) and AHRD (Academy of Human Resource Development) have conducted research and come up with ethical standards for the profession. These ethical standards serve as guidelines or standards or a compass to guide the WLP professional. Many times the WLP professional may find himself or herself in confidential or sensitive situations; people may divulge confidential information, or the WLP professional might find out sensitive information or news before anyone else in the organization. How the WLP professional maintains confidentiality, understands their role, and calls out unethical situations can build trust and better relationships throughout the organization.
