Abstract
This report explores the ever-changing scene of Human Resource Management (HRM), in focus being three crucial areas: ethical issues, whistle-blower management, and talent management practices, particularly in IT. HR has moved from being an administrative function to a strategic partner in organizational transformation. Among the ethical challenges confronting HR professionals are recruitment bias, challenges to diversity management, performance management, and privacy issues. It discusses whistle-blower management as a mechanism to stir organizational integrity while also protecting those who report unethical conduct. It ends with talent management while focusing on the unique challenges facing the IT industry, such as skill shortages, high proliferation, and demand for constant upskilling. Finally, the paper ventures into the future of HR ethics, whistle-blower protection, and work-life balance programs-as a catalyst for organizational change. The panoramic analysis thus provides a big strategic footing on which HR can embrace the modern complexities implicit in contemporary workplaces.
Key words: - Human Resource Management, Whistle Blower, Talent Management, Ethics, Information Technology.
