HRM003 – Develop Your Company’s H.R. Policies And Procedures … Then Assemble Them Into A Manual

Free Post-course Consulting
For a period of four weeks after the course has ended, participants may contact PrimeStaff Consultants by telephone, during work hours, for advice on matters related to the course content – this serves as value-add service.

Introduction
Whether a Company employs a few employees; or, several thousand, it “must-have” Human Resource Policies and Procedures firmly in place and in operation so as to prevent people problems and ensure productivity through highly motivated employees who in turn help the Company to achieve its corporate objectives. Compile all these policies and procedures in a HR Policies and Procedures Manual.

Some companies have an Employee Handbook and happily call this the HR Policies and Procedures Manual. The two documents are distinctly different. To believe that the Handbook is the Manual is to invite debilitating people problems for your Company.  They both constitute contracts of service with legal implications. This misunderstanding and a badly written document can lead the Company and employees to very serious adverse consequences.

Learning Objective 
On completing this learning, the participant will write (or re-write if the company already has one) the Company’s HR Policies and Procedures Manual, complete with process, procedures and forms, that will prevent people problems from breaking out. 

For Whom
Executives and Managers with responsibility for HR Management.
