Instructor-led Training Course
“If you don’t know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else.” – Laurence Peter
COURSE OVERVIEW
No formal organisation can exist and function well without a set of guidelines that express how the management intends to manage people and what is expected of employees in the workplace, and how. Such guidelines include HR policies and procedures. Without such policies, there are dangers of arbitrary decision-making that can demotivate both managers and staff and hinder the whole organisation’s performance.
This course dissects the HR Policies and Procedures Manual as an independent topic in human resource management in order to give it the weight it deserves as a tool in guiding human resource decisions in an organisation. You will explore a number of important areas in an attempt to understand why managers and employees need policies. You will identify key HR management functions that require explicit policies. You will also learn a variety of tools, techniques and methodologies whereby policies
are identified, researched, formatted, written, approved, published, distributed, communicated and maintained.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
- Identify and analyse HR policies and procedures for optimal business impact
- Design and format an appropriate handbook for construction,
communication, review and update of policies and procedures - Develop, communicate and maintain clear, fair and effective HR policies and procedures for improved organisational performance
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
HR professionals, at all career levels, responsible for developing HR policies and procedures. Also, HR and OD managers who have a need to improve their skills in developing/writing HR policies and procedures.
COURSE METHODOLOGY
Throughout this course, you will tackle a multitude of questions that will create a continuum of progress from the tactical to the strategic side of policy development. You will also work on a series of case study applications (from GCC and Asia-based companies) to ensure the directtransfer of skills and information and relevant practical experience. All throughout, you will adopt practical approaches, tools and techniques to enable you to effectively and efficiently develop, improve, maintain and update your HR manuals.
