Are you confident they are up-to-date with current legislation? Can your managers interpret them with ease and confidence? But sometimes having clear and documented policies is still not enough……

It is equally important that those responsible for delivery are trained and experienced in their implementation as this recent case demonstrates:-

In the case of Oasis Community Learning v Wolff, Mr Wolff worked for Oasis as a teacher but was dismissed following allegations that he harassed the HR Department and allegations about his confrontational approach to pupils.  The Tribunal found his dismissal unfair because the process was handled incorrectly and ordered Mr Wolff’s reinstatement.  [People Management-July 2013]

 

Consider your policies and processes as your Company’s ‘voice’, ‘It’s the way we do things around here’.  It sets standards and expectations for employee performance, engagement and behaviours. We all work better and smarter when we know what is expected of us.

Designed well they are an asset, setting the tone for equal and transparent treatment for everyone, protecting you and your employees – but if they don’t exist, are out-of-date or are not followed, they can present a minefield and a potential breeding ground for litigation claims
