HR policies & procedures
Why introduce HR policies?
Organisations introduce HR policies for very
different reasons. These can include:
- the need to comply with existing or new legislation,
including European directives and case law
- a desire to develop a more formal and consistent
approach to meet their needs as they grow and develop,
for example, with regard to flexible working
- to support their general management strategy
- to follow the latest developments in effective
people management, for example, wellness
- dealing with internal change
- complying with head office/parent-company rules, for
example, regarding the use of mobile phones
- to keep up with competitors, for example, policies
may be reviewed in order to attract or retain employees,
particularly in a tight labour market.
Each organisation will need policies that are adapted to
suit their own purpose and to fit with their sector, culture
and structure.
Introducing an HR policy doesn't indicate that the
organisation previously had no provisions in place. It
reflects a desire to formalise arrangements in certain areas
of people management and development for the reasons
suggested.
