Developing HR Policies and Procedures

Why this program

“If you don’t know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else.”, Laurence Peter 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 will dissect 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.
