As the Director of the Ethics and Compliance Office of XYZ Corporation, this is a US-based for- profit management health care company. I must address the troubling issues that have been brought to my attention in regards to social media post. With this new age of social media and those posting their frustrations and giving opinions. I must consider any legal or ethical implications that both of them may have. During this analytical report I will try to highlight any issues and corrective actions to do so. As of 2020, we were ranked #5 on the Fortune 500 rankings of the largest US corporations by total revenue. This is a big accomplishment and plays an important role in our overall reputation however; I must acknowledge and confront three issues that have been brought to the public eye that could tarnish the company’s reputation. There are three issues that I will have to resolve. The first issue at hand is the case of the intern applicant who posted a negative statement on Facebook about their internship at the Corporation’s Controller’s office for which she had applied for. I will need to determine whether this particular applicant should receive the internship at XYZ Corporation based on the negative comments that were left on Facebook that were focused on our policy of professional dress code. Understanding both our legal and ethical policies. I must take all things into considerations. The second issue concerns a current employee from XYZ Corporation who posted negative comments regarding the food service cleanliness at the office’s pantry. Food is cooked and served to both employees and customers. He believes there’s an issue with severing the same food our employees and customers. I will have to evaluate whether his social media criticisms allow for termination of his contract with the corporation. The final issue refers to complaints received from numerous supervisors about staff members’ and their engagement on social media platforms during working hours. Management has voice concerns that the increase engagement of social media has led to low productivity from staff. Identifying the

framework for personal internet use during working hours. I will have to review and discuss what the legal and ethical impact will be. What are the consequences of misusing their time during company hours? An intern applicant posted negative remarks on Facebook about an internship at the Controller’s office at XYZ for which she had applied. The negative comments were focused on the policy for professional dress as an intern. Should she receive an internship at XYZ? While assessing this matter, one can agree that this issue can be weighted both legally and ethically. There were many factors that need to be answered during my assessment. Was the negative comment the only rationale for why she was not selected for the internship? How this information was access and brought to the Corporations attention? Was it published on a public platform? I have to consider whether the information at questions was obtained legally and there is lawful use of this information. My legal standpoint, as Director of Ethics and Compliance at XYZ Corporation, I have to consider whether all information in regards to this intern was obtained legally and whether there is lawful use of said information. Now from my ethical point of view, I have to consider whether there was a failure to train and provide documentation to the intern on the fundamental principles of the company’s code of conduct and ethics.

The corporation’s looks for certain attributes that will ensure both parties share the same values.

Will she use social media to voice her opinion against the Corporations? Principle #19 relates to the importance of adhering to the Code of Ethics together with postings on social media. Considerations associated with this principle suggest an assessment should take place to see the placement of the data and how it was used. If an existing employee went against these rules, he or she would be discipline? Key Takeaways Employees and interns of XYZ Corporation are expected to adhere to the Code of Ethics including posting on any social platform. A social media platform like Facebook is a public domain. Any information posted on this platform is considered public. Recruiters should always remain professional when communicating with potential candidates.
