You are in your second month of working as a HR graduate at Hazel… You are in your second month of working as a HR graduate at Hazel Hen. Dr Wing has called an emergency meeting to discuss a problem with one of the franchisees in Melbourne, who owns four Hazel Hen restaurants. These restaurants have been hiring new crew members over the last two months.  Dr Wing has received information that this franchisee, Mr Imso Vain, has been basing his hiring decision on the attractiveness of the candidates – that is, when faced with two candidates with almost identical skill sets and experience, Mr Vain has been offering the role to the more attractive candidate.   Dr Wing is extremely concerned about this issue and has asked you to give a brief insights in details for the Board, which addresses the following question – is hiring a candidate based on their appearance illegal or unethical? Include appropriate Victorian or Australian legislation, case law and academic research or commentary.  Business Management Human Resource Management MGT 2001 Share QuestionEmailCopy link
