Target skills

Learning how an HR Policy is structured and what needs to be in it.

An HR policy in a company represents processes and rules that govern the working relationship between the employee and the employer. The human resources team is responsible for implementing and enforcing them. These rules apply to all employees regardless of the type of contract (part-time, full-time, etc.).

Here are some principles to be respected when setting up an HR policy in a company.

  • The employee must be in the right job at the right time.
  • Continuous training of employees is essential.
  • Employees must have the right tools and equipment to produce quality work.
  • Working conditions must be pleasant for all.

The working environment should be safe.

  • Opportunities for career development should be available to all in order to sustain jobs.
  • Ensure that you are fair and just within your team.
