Each company has a different set of circumstances, and so develops an individual set of policies called human resource policies. HR policies allow an organisation to be clear with employees on:
• The nature of the organisation • What they should expect from the company • What the company expects of them • How policies and procedures work at your company • What is acceptable and unacceptable behaviour • What the consequences of unacceptable behaviour may be
Developing the HR Policies By developing HR policies your organisation will have a mechanism to Ensure it can manage risk by staying up to date with current trends in employment standards and legislation.
How to Develop HR Policies A small team including the CEO, HR Manager and key managers can develop the Human Resource Policies. The content of the policies should be determined by the organisation to ensure that it fits the organisation’s needs. A variety of sample policies are available commercially and can provide a useful framework. Alternatively it can be useful to look at the policies of companies that are in the same industry sector. External help should be sought to review the Policy Manual to ensure that nothing is missing and that none of the policies contravene legislation.
