Getting HR policies and procedures right is essential to the success of a company. They set the tone for performance standards, behaviour and help manage both employee and employer expectations. Policies, procedures and processes form the basis for attracting and retaining the right employees and ensuring that it is done both within the law and with a view to best practise. The impact of policies begins before people even join the company, from recruitment and selection policies, through to compensation and benefit policies and continue until the time that people leave the company from notice periods to the provision of references.
Employment legislation changes are made approximately twice a year and businesses have a choice: Making minor adjustments on each occasion to ensure the business remains legally compliant or undertaking a holistic review of all policies and procedures to ensure they are not only compliant, but in line with each other, best practice and the long term needs of the business.
As our clients grow or change, DOHR helps them to evolve their policies and procedures to ensure they remain legal, strategically aligned, effective and cost efficient.
