These policies are written statements of the company's standards and objectives and include all areas of employment, including recruitment, compensation, termination, benefits, employee relations and leaves of absence. They contain rules on how employees must perform their jobs and interact with each other. Managers, employees and the HR department all have roles in ensuring that HR policies are effectively implemented.

PURPOSE OF HR POLICIES
HR policies ensure that a company complies with relevant legislation, employment contracts and collective agreements. These policies reduce the risk of corporate liability or employee lawsuits. Policies address various areas that are critical to the company mission, thus ensuring operational efficiency.
