Business leaders must grasp and implement decision-making models prioritizing compliance and fairness. The SHRM Code of Ethics provides a robust framework to navigate these complexities, emphasizing adherence to labor laws, ensuring fair compensation, and treating gig workers ethically.
Compliance with labor laws is imperative, involving correct classifications and fair payment of gig workers to protect their rights and shield businesses from legal issues. Establishing fair compensation practices is crucial to provide gig workers with a stable foundation amidst income fluctuations. Ethical treatment extends beyond legal compliance, involving the creation of a respectful and supportive work environment with professional development opportunities and avenues for feedback. Integrating these principles enhances legal compliance, organizational reputation, and appeal to top talent, fostering sustainable success in the gig economy.
