If someone has broken the law, does that automatically disqualify them for legitimate employment?
As managers, we may come across this situation in our careers. Someone uniquely qualified applies for a position and seems ideal except they have marked 'Yes' in the box that asks, 'Have you ever been convicted of a felony?'
Identify one issue in either ethics, corporate social responsibility, or stakeholder management as it relates to the case.
An issue which can be seen complying with this case is that many a times a lot of jobs having for the public safety and for the security of other people are not offered to the people or individuals having the criminal record. For example, offering a job for the bank assistant or someone handing the finances wouldn't be the first job you would offer to someone who has just got out from the jail because of a robbery conviction. Many a times, employement opportunities are often restricted for the people who have a criminal record as their background and this is not actually be considered as discrimination but more of a organsation'a own code of ethics and morality to ensure that for the benefits and the best of public safety and the employee safety in the organisation, only those people are be employed having a clean record not only in regard with the prison but also the employee behaviour is evaluated as per the organisation and the job he left by asking the employer to give an employee evaluation note regarding how good was the employee in the organisation for the time served.
