Personnel managers' hippocratic oath

Article Abstract:

Organizations should accept the Institute of Personnel Management's (IPM) proposed professional conduct and ethics regulations, but the IPM should make improvements in some areas of the proposed rules. The IPM has proposed that members should be expelled if they engage in misconduct. Several practices can lead to a charge of misconduct, including bribery, theft, unauthorized use of the IPM's designatory letters, submission of false information on IPM membership applications, and cheating on professional examinations. The IPM can improve its professional status by creating regulations to discipline its members, but the proposed regulations should be modified by including such items as examples of the use of the code in practice, and how potential problems will be resolved.

Institute membership: passport or profession?

Article Abstract:

An analysis reveals that membership in the UK Institute of Personnel Management (IPM) is on the rise; more than 35,500 people are now members. Many are professionally qualified, while others are affiliated with the organization to take advantage of training courses. One reason for the growth in membership is attributed to IPM's efforts to professionalize personnel management by requiring examinations and professional experience in the field to gain entrance to the organization. The IPM's carefully structured program leads to recognized professional qualification, and enables personnel managers to have a voice in helping to guide human resources management.
