Ethics in The Workplace
Introduction 
As a disability management professional with a CDMP certification and working in a large, multinational unionized organization, it will be essential to help the organization develop an ethics training program for the staff. In most cases, disability management professionals will be working in a diverse environment, and as such, it will be critical to know how to deal with different people. It is critical to provide services to people of different races, gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. In doing one's work, there is a high chance that a disability management profession will be required to work with people from a different ethnic background than theirs. It is also likely for a person to meet someone with a different sexual orientation and needs disability services. This program will aim to train professionals to avoid a situation where there is a cultural vision tunnel.
Development of a Code of Ethics for the Department
The Process Use to Develop a Departmental Code of Ethics

The next step will be to analyze the type of laws that are in existence that the organization has to comply with. It is also essential to understand the future challenges and what can be done to deal with the issue (Pawlukewicz & Ondrus, 2013). The clients should also be consulted to understand the discrimination they have faced before.
Ethical and Legal Documents that will be Considered in Developing the Code of Ethics
  There are several ethical and legal documents that will be considered in developing the Code of Ethics for the organization. By consulting different documents, it will be possible to have a code of ethics that does not contradict any laws that have been passed. As a company dealing with people with disabilities, it is essential to understand the various laws that the government has passed. For example, the government has laws that protect the privacy of people with disability. Some laws ensure that people give their consent before an action is taken (Pacific Coast University for Workplace Health Sciences, 2021). By understanding such laws, one will be able to understand the best way to formulate a code of ethics. The government doc...
