Employment Policies and Procedures
Professional and up-to-date workplace policies and procedures are the backbone of effective HR Management. They are essential to ensure that you meet your legal obligations under Employment Law and to comply with ACAS guidance. They also give managers and employees clear rules and expectations, ensure consistency, minimise the risk of disputes and re-enforce your values, standards and approach to workplace behaviour.
It is important that Policies are tailored to your business. You should avoid generic templates that do not reflect your sector or workforce. It is also important to carry out regular reviews, because Employment Law changes frequently and out-dated policies can sometimes be as risky as having none.
