Ethics is a crucial factor in managing a reputable business and maintaining a hospitality organization’s credibility as well as legal viability. In this unit’s Discussion, you will explore the ethical considerations regarding hiring practices.

Finally you will create your own Code of Ethics for hiring employees in “your hotel.”

There are lots of unemployed hospitality candidates out there. Your top five resumes that you choose for an interview all have excellent experience and qualifications. There is one resume that really stands out in terms of communication skills and experience however. When the outstanding potential candidate comes in for an interview, he is in a wheelchair. What do you do? You were hoping for someone that would really “sell” your hotel to the public. This candidate has a great personality and does well in the interview. However, the other four candidates are very good looking and have passed the interview session as well.
