Workplace Policies and Procedures Specialists
Need help setting up or reviewing workplace Policies and Procedures? We help you ensure all of your policies & procedures are legally compliant, fair and transparent, ensuring the smooth running of your business.
Policies and procedures are the rules and guidelines that govern your workplace. They set out the responsibilities, behaviours and conduct that you expect from employees and highlight unacceptable conduct that could jeopardise their continued employment.
Some policies are legally mandated such as the requirement to have a policy relating to Workplace Health and Safety. Other policies may deal with issues that are not legally regulated but that may be important to your business. Your Policies and Procedures will need to reflect the unique needs and goals of your business.
A key area addressed in a business’ Policies and Procedures is how complaints and grievances are handled, such as bullying, harassment and discrimination in the workplace.
