HR Policies and Procedures
Policies and procedures are designed to influence and guide all decisions and actions within a workplace.
All activities should take place within the boundaries set by the policies.
Procedures are the specific methods employed to express policies in action in day-to-day operations of the organisation. They should be a source of information for your employees and help set the parameters for your people issues.
In this everchanging employee relations environment, we find organisations are struggling to keep their policy frameworks up to date, legally compliant and easy to understand.
We can work with you to develop a suite of workplace policies suited specifically for the many complex workplace issues faced by Australian employers.

How do you develop workplace policies and procedures and what should be included?
Developing workplace policies and procedures involves identifying the needs of the organisation, consulting with stakeholders, ensuring compliance with legal requirements, and clearly documenting the policies. It’s also important to regularly review and update these policies to reflect changes in the business environment or legislation. Workplace policies should include guidelines on conduct, dress code, attendance, health and safety, anti-discrimination, harassment, data protection, and disciplinary procedures. They should clearly outline the company’s expectations and the consequences of non-compliance.
How often should workplace policies be reviewed?
Workplace policies should be reviewed at least annually or whenever there is a significant change in legislation, industry standards, or business operations. Regular reviews ensure that policies remain relevant and legally compliant.
How does HR outsourcing work and how is it different from in-house?
HR outsourcing involves partnering with an external firm to manage your HR functions, differing from in-house human resources, which are handled within the company. Outsourcing HR can be an excellent way for businesses to reduce costs and gain access to expert advisors, allowing organisations to focus on their core business functions. By partnering with industry experts businesses can ensure they remain compliant with current labour laws, have effective payroll management, and are equipped with strategies for handling employee relations. Outsourced human resources helps businesses focus on growth while still ensuring all their HR needs are efficiently managed.
What are workplace procedures and how are they implemented?
Workplace procedures are step-by-step instructions that outline how to perform tasks or activities in the workplace. They help to ensure consistency, efficiency, and safety by providing clear directions on how to complete specific processes or respond to particular situations. To implement workplace procedures, it’s important that the steps are clearly documented, employers are trained on how to follow them, and that compliance is regularly monitored. The key to successful implementation is that procedures are easy to understand and are accessible to all employees.
