Commitment to Ethics

Overwhelmingly, the number one reason members cite for joining NAPR is its high ethical standards. NAPR's Ten Commandments and Code of Ethics govern the manner by which each of our member organizations fulfills its obligations to other NAPR members, clients, clinicians and the general public, positively distinguishing NAPR members and reflecting our commitment to fulfill the needs of those for whom we provide service with honesty, objectivity, integrity, quality, and competency.

 

"When I left a hospital leadership position 20 years ago to join a friend’s recruiting firm, my single biggest question was whether I was making a mistake, joining an industry with the stereotype of having a questionable reputation. One of my first acts was to research whether there was an opportunity to network with agencies that did not reflect that image. That quest led me to the NAPR.  Since joining the association, I have had the pleasure of meeting many industry leaders and members that hold the values of ethics in high regard. In fact, over the last year the members of the NAPR Board of Directors have been reaching out to members to get their input on our strategic direction. “In an industry where trust means everything, a basic building block of integrity for any firm should start by first becoming a NAPR member, and then by proudly displaying the NAPR logo. This signals the principles your company holds dear, because by being a member, you’ve agreed to abide by the highest ethical standards.”

“As an independent search firm who is guided by their values of, integrity, service, dedication, and loyalty, being a member of NAPR is important. NAPR’s integrity of ethics and bylaws is important to Adkisson Search; the reason we have been a member over the past 19 years. Just as healthcare organizations must be approved by governing bodies, NAPR is the governing body for recruitment firms. We don’t collaborate with firms that are not part of NAPR.
