			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">It is unfortunate that issues of human rights in the workplace has not been well understood by managers and supervisors because of the complex. The responsibility to prevent human rights violations is the responsibility of the Executive Council responsible for the professional workplace.<br />
The third report to the Council on Human Rights UN earlier this year described a new policy framework for human rights work, which includes three basic principles<br />
-Duty of governments to protect human rights<br />
-The corporate responsibility to respect human rights<br />
-The need to improve the access of victims to effective remedies</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These principles were supported by large international organizations and major international human rights organizations alike. As a follow-up, executives worldwide have called for action to renew their commitment to the protection of human rights within the meaning of the Universal Declaration. Organized by the Global Compact United Nations and has already been signed by nearly 250 leaders from 68 countries, the declaration of the CEO is an expression of serious intent.<br />
<span id="more-228"></span> More than ever, seem to entrepreneurs around the world agree that protecting human rights, through its moral and ethical obligation to make business sense. Ensuring decent conditions and safety, promotion of non-discrimination and compensatory justice and equity in employment and the observance and protection of workers&#8217; rights have all the key issues affecting the long-term companies.<br />
At the same time, much remains to be done to understand their fundamental responsibility for the management of human rights and the steps companies must meet in order to ensure they live to be placed at the specified code. Even executives hired say they need more practical and authoritative guidance, what human rights mean and how these issues can be better achieved in their daily routine operations. Many companies are still very basic services like education, health or safety of drinking water to water and sanitation.<br />
It is feared that, when a number of problems in the workplace is not properly protected against, it can have an impact on the human rights of its employees. Human rights policies in many companies are growing, with an infantile. Large companies can ensure the political rights of the EU, they do not support the work, the effects on the human rights of others.<br />
Many of the principles of the Law on Human Rights to protect employees at work. For example, employees have the right to privacy and family. Thus, an employer who discriminates for personal reasons, may be injured, for example, that workers have the right to privacy. The employer has the right to monitor communications within the workplace as employees of monitoring at attention before it occurs. An employee has the right to privacy means that he or she is entitled to some privacy at work. If the employer does not have that respect, it is against human rights violations. If the employee believes that his human rights are at work, has been violated, he must first talk to his employer. If it is not effective, he may follow the grievance procedures, if any, in the written statement of employment. If this does not work, he may take legal action.<br />
The scenario has not changed, however, and understand, despite the current economic crisis, a growing number of executives and management professionals that human rights are of direct relevance to their long-term success.</p>

<p>It is unfortunate that workplace human rights issues have not been properly understood by the managers and supervisors because of its complex nature. The onus of preventing human rights violations is the responsibility of management professionals in charge of workplace.</p>
<p>The third report to the UN Human Rights Council, submitted earlier this year, outlines a new policy framework for human rights at work place that comprises three core principles</p>
<p>-Governments&#8217; duty to protect human rights<br />
-Corporate responsibility to respect human rights<br />
-The need for greater access by victims to effective remedies</p>
<p>These core principles have been endorsed by major international business associations and leading international human rights organizations alike. As a follow-up, chief executives from around the world have issued a call to action to renew their commitment to the protection of human rights in the spirit of the Universal Declaration. Organized by the United Nations Global Compact and already signed by nearly 250 business leaders from 68 countries, the CEO Statement is an expression of serious intent.<span id="more-222"></span></p>
<p>More than ever before, business leaders around the world seem to agree that the protection of human rights, beyond its moral and ethical compulsion, also make good business sense. Ensuring decent and safe workplace conditions, promoting non-discrimination and equitable justice and fair play in employment, respecting and safeguarding the rights of employees have all become central issues to the long-term sustainability of business.</p>
<p>At the same time, a lot more still needs to be done to make managements understand their basic responsibility to respect human rights and the steps companies need to take to ensure that they are living up to the laid down codes. Even the most committed managers say they need more practical and authoritative guidance on what human rights mean and how these issues can best achieved in their day-to-day operations. Many companies are yet to provide basic services such as education, healthcare or safe drinking water and sanitation.</p>
<p>There is growing concern that if a number of workplace issues are not successfully protected against, it can impact the human rights of employees. Human Rights policies in many companies are at an infantile stage of development. Larger organizations may have Human Rights policy to ensure they are not supporting work that impacts the human rights of others.</p>
<p>Many of the principles of the Human Rights Act are designed to protect the worker within the workplace. For example, the workers have the right to a private and family life. So an employer who discriminates on personal grounds, for example, may be violating that worker&#8217;s right to a private life. The employer has the right to monitor communications within the workplace as long as the worker is aware of the monitoring before it takes place.</p>
<p>A worker&#8217;s right to a private life means he or she has the right to some privacy in the workplace. If the employer doesn&#8217;t respect this, he is breaching human rights law. If the worker believes his human rights at work have been breached, he should talk to his employer first. If it is not effective, he can follow the internal grievance procedure, if any, in the written statement of employment. If that doesn&#8217;t work, he may take legal action.</p>
<p>The scenario is however changing and despite the current economic crisis, a growing number of business leaders and management professionals understand that human rights issues are of direct relevance to their long term success.</p></div>
