QUESTION 1
The King IV Report on Corporate Governance has significant implications for the Human
Resource Department (HRD) of Bakang Holdings. As the report places strong emphasis on
ethical leadership, stakeholder inclusivity, sustainability, and good governance outcomes,
HRD will play a central role in promoting these values through people management, strategic
alignment, and internal culture development.
1. Ethical Leadership and Corporate Citizenship
The King IV Report promotes ethical and effective leadership (Principle 1). HRD is
responsible for recruiting, developing, and evaluating leaders who demonstrate integrity,
accountability, fairness, and transparency. HRD must therefore align leadership development
programmes and performance appraisals with these values to ensure the organisation
fosters an ethical culture (Principle 2). This implies integrating ethical conduct into job
descriptions, KPIs, and leadership training, as ethical leadership is critical for building a
responsible corporate citizen (Principle 3).
