Company policies and the handbook

The Corporate Policy Handbook is probably one of the first things that comes to mind when people think about Human Resources. We are indeed tied to this book as it serves as the law inside your organization, and sometimes you are the judge and jury as you hold people accountable to it, but that doesn't mean it has to read like stereo instructions. If you haven't already, a great place to start is to purchase a template from one of the many HR compliance websites out there. Your employment law attorney may also have a template to offer you or at least some suggestions on where to get one. Once you have a template, go through it page by page and make adjustments to suit your company's policies, as well as your organizational culture.

You'll want to include a letter from your CEO and your organizations vision, mission, and core values up at the front. Your performance management and disciplinary procedures may need some tweaking and so forth. Also, make sure your organization's code of conduct is at the beginning.
