HR Policies and Procedures Advice

Policies and procedures advice from HR Business Consultants could make all the difference to your business. In our experience, hard-wearing policies in the workplace are about doing things the right way.

They’re an essential foundation to a productive, successful and motivated workforce.

What Exactly Are HR Policies?

HR policies and procedures are a series of workplace boundaries. Effectively, they’re a set of internal rules and standards that play a part in helping everyone meet your organisation’s objectives.

Every business, large or small, needs a legally compliant set of HR policies.

They must be fair, and applied consistently throughout the entire enterprise. Importantly, your staff need to know where they stand, and what you expect of them. Otherwise, how will they know they’re doing the right thing? Or, the wrong thing. With them, everyone benefits from standardisation.

Decision-making is easier, and staff work more efficiently. In the world of working relationships, for team members are better protected from unethical or inappropriate behaviour. How? Because there’s an enforceable blueprint guiding each process.

Policies and Procedures Advice. How Can We Help?

We offer a range of valuable HR policies and procedures advice for every type of organisation, and we’d be pleased to help you achieve best practice.

Your HR Business Consultant specialist will review your current policies, and either update or create from scratch a bespoke employee handbook, complete with supporting documentation.

From dress codes to internet use, we’ll work closely with you to establish the policies that best what you do, and how you work. Key areas of policy could include:

Recruitment and Selection. Uniform procedures for hiring to ensure legal compliance – and to help you employ the best person for the role.

Training Policy. Professional development frameworks to grow the skills of your team, and help retain them in your business.

Pay and Benefits. An essential, must-have policy. Do you have one, and will it stand up to scrutiny?

Performance Management and Evaluation. Refer to our performance management page for more information. Are you measuring performance effectively, and to consistent standards? We can show you how to do this.

Dismissal and Exiting. One of your key policies. Process errors tomorrow could create expensive legal action in the extremely near future – and affect the reputation of your business.

Get in touch with HR Business Consultants. Your streamlined, impermeable policies and procedures could be the Teflon-coating your business needs.

  • HR Business Consultants were tasked to provide us with guidance as we do not have any HR resources within the charity.  Our priorities were to address some restructuring, recruitment and training.   These were completed smoothly. Having them there at the end of the phone or coming into the office, gives us peace of mind ensuring we are making decisions in line with employment legislation. Knowing our managers have support has taken a weight off senior managers.

  • HR Business Consultants offer a great bespoke HR service. I had a relatively small HR issue - however, nothing was too much trouble and they were able to help me to get to a sensible, practical solution. I would thoroughly recommend them if you have any HR issues whether just a one-off issue or on-going support to support your business.
