further responsibility to contribute to the success and
sustainability of the organisations that employ us or that
we render a service to. It is our responsibility to comply
with the expectations of our profession and fellow
practitioners. We accept responsibility for the outcomes of
our actions and interventions. In this we contribute to the
greater goodness of society.
• Integrity: As HR practitioners we are committed to
exemplary ethical conduct that is characterised by
honesty, objectivity, fairness of judgment, consistency of
action and loyalty to our profession and the organisations
and communities we engage with. We aim to grow the
profession in a controlled and responsible manner. In that
we strive to attract to the profession members with sound
moral character and integrity.
• Respect: We are unwaveringly committed to tolerance,
respect for human dignity and upholding the human rights
as prescribed by the constitution of the country. We treat
all our stakeholders with respect and protect them from

harm. We stand in service of our profession and its
membership, those organisations that remunerate us for
our professional contributions, and the communities we
affect. We have an obligation to prevent breaches of
principles of respect and to assertively object to such
violations when they occur. We respect the confidentiality
of information that is entrusted to us.
• Competence: Professional registration of HR practitioners
is a privilege afforded to individuals that have met the
criteria for registration. We are committed to ensure
professional credibility by actively evaluating and
protecting the quality of professional education and
training of those aspiring to enter the profession. We
aspire to uphold the highest standards of continued
professional development and improvement of
competence of members of the profession. We enact this
aspiration through role modeling and mentorship. It is our
professional duty to integrate and apply sound human
resource management principles, policies and practices in
all aspects of people management and to assess the value
that we add. We strive to formulate generally accepted HR
practices that adhere to criteria of scientific and feasibility
proportions. It is our quest to build the field of human
resource management by promoting and supporting
rigorous research.
The correct answer is:
responsibility, integrity, respect and competence
