HR Policies in New Companies

I have Attached HR Policies in New Companies

 

HERE ARE SOME USEFUL GUIDELINES TO SET UP HR DEPARTMENT.

STAGE  1

Review  the  current practices/policies [ if  any]
Audit all  hr activities that are performed [ even the crude format]

HERE  ARE  THE  CORE  HR  KRAs [ key result areas]

KRA 1  :        Recruitment/Selection
KRA 2  :        Workforce Planning and Diversity
KRA 3  :        Performance Management
KRA 4  :        Reward Management
KRA 5 :        Workplace Management and Relations
KRA 6 :        A Safe and Healthy Workplace
KRA 7 :        Building Capabilities and Organisational Learning
KRA 8 :        Effective HR Management Systems, Support and Monitoring

STAGE 2

  • Understand the organization
  • Understand the organization structure
  • Understand the organization systems
  • Understand the organization politics/influential people
  • Understand the organization/individual roles
  • Understand the organization/positions
  • Understand the individual job descriptions
  • Understand the job/ job specifications etc…

 

STAGE 3

  • Discuss the values/beliefs with senior management/CEO and the need for HR department.
  • Discuss the expectations from HR department -short/medium/long term.
  • Discuss with CEO, the organization’s corporate objectives/strategies and how HR can contribute to the corporate objectives.
  • Discuss / seek consensus on organization structure / management process.
  • Discuss the current organization culture with senior management.
  • Discuss with CEO/senior management the core activities/competences and business drivers of the organization.

TO GET A GOOD START AND HOLD YOUR CREDIBILITY, YOU NEED THESE INFORMATIONS TO START YOUR WORK  ON  HR DEPT.

GET   A   COPY OF CORPORATE PLAN, WHICH OUTLINES THE  COMPANY’S  

  • VISION
  • MISSION
  • CORPORATE OBJECTIVES
  • CORPORATE STRATEGIES
    etc…

HR dept. is  a  support  unit  and  hence  must  work closely with  other  depts.

STAGE   4

Even  though  there  is  currently  no  HR  department, there are a  number of  HR activities are being  carried  out now.

YOU  HAVE  TO  KNOW  WHAT THEY ARE / HOW  IT  IS  BEING CARRIED  OUT / BY  WHOM.

TO  COLLECT  AND  CONSOLIDATE THESE, YOU  NEED TO  A QUICK  HR  AUDIT  OF  THE  PRESENT  SITUATION.

AFTER  you  gather  all  the  informations  and summarized, you  should  sit  down  with your  boss [ CEO]  and discuss and  prioritize  the  items, as  follows

  • URGENT / IMPORTANT
  • URGENT/ NOT IMPORTANT
  • NOT URGENT/ IMPORTANT
  • NOT URGENT / NOT IMPORTANT , BUT  NEEDED  DOWN THE LINE.

STAGE 5

Please   REVIEW   the HR  MANUAL , as  listed  below.
Pick  points out  of  it ,  as  per  your  need,  based  on  your discussion /  audit  results.

You may want to start up with

  • HR department OBJECTIVES.
  • HR  DEPARTMENT STRATEGIES
  • Draft on Recruitment  / Selection Procedure /PROCESS
