Introduction
HR Policies are the organisation's top management philosophy and general guidelines as to aims, objectives, responsibilities and accountabilities regarding the organisation's prerogatives and its employees' entitlements and benefits at all levels.
The Employee Handbook on the other hand contains the specific terms and conditions of employment. This handbook forms the bulk of the employment contract; the other part being the employment /appointment letter.
These two documents are fundamental to every organization even though the content and standards may vary widely according to differing needs and requirements.
About the Programme
This programme shows what factors need to be taken into account in drawing up HR policies and the employee handbook. It also discusses related legal and human issues and gives an insight into market trends in HR policies and employee benefits.
As it is strategic in nature, this workshop will appeal to HR Policy decision makers and those responsible for drafting them.
Why Attend This Programme?
A well developed HR policy would provide clear direction for management decision, while a clearly written employee handbook would provide transparency for better communication and employee relations.
