HR policies and procedures

HR policies and procedures

There are many benefits to implementing policies and procedures in the workplace and one of these benefits includes allowing an organisation to effectively control and manage its workforce.

Regardless of whether the breaches are inadvertent or intentional, you must be equipped to manage these breaches. Having the policy in place is the 1st step and making your employees aware of them is a key part of this process.

Therefore, when a serious breach occurs the course of action is clear.

However not all of the breaches of policies are serious, so disciplining employees becomes challenging: Do you take action? Do you issue a warning? Was it a major or minor breach?

Summary – one of the key benefits is the ability to email or speak to a HR Specialist about the policy breach. Our Specialists have experienced 1000’s of different breaches, so they are able to help you understand the significance or otherwise of the breach and allow you to take the right action and make the “penalty equal the breach”.
