HR Policy, Audit & Development

HUMAN RESOURCE POLICY AUDIT & DEVELOPMENT

There are many benefits to having suitable HR policies in place. Setting standards is the key to healthy workplace relations. They can reduce the need for disciplinary and legal action. They may also increase productivity and morale, as well as help employee retention.

Clear policymaking can also be positive for your business’ reputation externally, e.g. among clients and the local community.

An organization that has clarity in its operations through well developed policies will create a positive employment reputation that can also help in attracting new staff.

Many organizations have policies based on the size and nature of their business. For example, if your employees operate machinery, it may be a good idea to implement a specific policy on drugs and alcohol use. If your employees use computers most of the time, you should have an email and internet policy.

Sun Runner HR Solutions will assist your organization in developing human resource policies or to audit your current policies to ensure they meet Employment Standards and Human Rights Legislation.

ORGANIZATIONAL REVIEWS

Organizations can be structured in many different ways and styles, depending on their objectives. The structure of an organization will determine operational effectiveness and performance.

An effective organizational structure defines working relationships between various work groups or departments in the organization. The allocation of responsibilities and functions to individuals or workgroups should be clearly set out.

When a business expands, the chain of command and spans of control are impacted. There is the risk of decreased organizational flexibility and cohesiveness. All organizational structures should be reviewed from time to time to ensure maximum efficiency and effectiveness. Poorly defined responsibilities and work flow structure may hamper cooperation, reduce competitiveness and ultimately affect the company’s bottom line.
