OBJECTIVES

Whether your business has a few employees or several thousand, providing them with a handbook that spells out your company’s benefits, policies and procedures makes great sense, practically and legally.

 

Writing a good and detailed company policy and handbook is a very important function of human resources. Letters of Appointments alone are sometimes insufficient because guidelines and points of reference for the management and the employees must be spelt out for a meaningful and fruitful employer-employee relationship.

 

This course will help participants understand and appreciate this more crucial and important than any other functions in human resources management. More importantly, this course will guide participants step-by-step on the formulation of policies.

  2. Designing and Writing documents clearly so as to enable employees to understand and follow the policies.
  3. Learning the legal and practical considerations that apply to each topic of the handbook.
  4. Helping employees increase efficiency, reducing mistakes and frustration, and saving time and money — by providing clear guidelines to follow.
  5. Avoiding legal mistakes that can get a company in trouble.
