Comparatively speaking the codes of ethics between the American Psychological Association (APA) (2010) and the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM) (2014) contains the same goal; that is to be respectful of the persons they serve in a dignified, confidential and lawful manner. While the APA guidelines are used in all areas of psychology, whether medical, clinical or organizational, the SHRM code of ethics are designed for HR professionals specifically. These two sets of principles share similarities in that they both aim for fair and just practices, confidentiality in the use of information, and awareness of conflicts of interest.
