IHRIM's Policies
Code of Conduct
To maintain the professional nature of the Association, all members of IHRIM, Inc. and service providers must adhere to the Association’s Code of Conduct.
Conflict of Interest Policy
All persons conducting IHRIM business, serving in leadership positions, or providing a service to IHRIM shall ensure that all activities aim to benefit IHRIM first while doing no harm to the Association. Employees, directors, and key volunteers must exercise the highest level of integrity, ethics, and objectivity in actions and relations that may affect the Association or where the employee or director represents or negotiates on behalf of the Association.
Policy on Use of IHRIM Name/Logo & Leadership Title
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for the proper use of IHRIM’s trademarks and copyrights in printed and electronic materials where the use of IHRIM's trademarks and copyrights, with or without permission, by any person or organization does not imply endorsement or sponsorship of a commercial product or service, or of a non-IHRIM event.
The Association's By-Laws and Code of Conduct explicitly outline the conditions under which a member may seek redress for grievances. This structured process, conducted in accordance with Robert’s Rules of Order, mirrors the precedent set by IHRIM for grievances related to the HRIP examination, certification, or recertification. The process may be subject to periodic modifications to uphold the Association's high standards, align with the professional mission of IHRIM, and maintain the dignity of all involved parties.
