Policies and Procedures
Development, implementation, and enforcement of workplace policies allow for the direct management of your workplace.
The ever-increasing legislative burden on Employers is best managed, documented and communicated to Employees through policies, procedures and tasks or codes of practices. The use of policies must include their revision, distribution, education, and insertion into the day-to-day workings of the business. The importance of policies can not undermine the importance of training on what to do when things go wrong.
Workforce Advisory can assist in reviewing, drafting, or training employees on workplace policies.
Policies may range from Discrimination and Harassment; Workplace Bullying; Email and Internet; GPS and Tracking; New Technology; Social Media; Media; Medical; Drug and Alcohol; Fitness for Work; and Performance Management.
