Staff Policies: A Practical Application in Your Business

A staff, or workplace policy is a written statement that explains how human resource management issues will be dealt with in a workplace. Policies not only help to manage legal risk, but they also outline the benefits and opportunities a business provides to its staff. This can help improve workforce morale, employee retention and job satisfaction. Policies also help to manage legal risks and ensure compliance with relevant legislation and laws such as addressing workplace harassment and discrimination.

This course aims to identify the benefits of having staff policies, provides an understanding of which policies a business may need and gives guidance on how to construct and implement staff policies.

Key topics:
