Human Resource Policies & Procedures

Human resource policies & procedures are continuing guidelines on the approach an organisation intends to adopt in managing its people. They represent specific guidelines to HR managers on various matters concerning employment and state the intent of the organisation on various aspects of Human Resource management such as recruitment, promotion, compensation, training etc. A good HR policy provides guidance on the approach adopted by the organisation, and therefore its employees, concerning various aspects of employment. A procedure spells out precisely what action should be taken in line with the policies.

Policies and procedures serve a number of purposes:

• They provide clear communication between the organisation and their employees regarding their condition of employment;
• They form a basis for treating all employees fairly and equally;
• They are a set of guidelines for supervisors and managers;
• They create a basis for developing the employee handbook;
• They establish a basis for regularly reviewing changes affecting employees;
• They form a context for supervisor training programs and employee orientation programs; and
• They prevent the wastage of time and energy involved in repeated analyses for solving problems of a similar nature; and more.
