PEOPLE!!!!
Human Resource Policy
           Manuals
   Having a manual is key to the first step in improving
    and organizations knowledge of management
    practices

   They capture the knowledge that supports
    employees and managers in their daily work

   Ensure manual is accessible to all employees
Human Resource Policy
           Manuals
 Employees should receive a copy of manual either
  paper or electronically so they can refer to it
  throughout their employment with the
  organization.

 Employees should acknowledge that they have
  received a copy of the manual.

 All updates should be explained clearly
Human Resource Policy
           Manuals
           Reduces association risks
 Potential legal liability situations

 Demonstrates the value an organization places
  in its employees and volunteers

 Everyone knows exactly what's expected of
  them and how they will be treated
The Manual
 Managers have key role in enforcement of
  policies & procedures provided in the
  manual.

 They need to understand what’s in it, why
  and any future changes. This may take a
  special meeting to explain the changes
  clearly so they can then explain to
  employees.
How to Write the Manual
           K.I.S.S works best!


Use simple language – so all can understand

No negative language – keep it positive and
 upbeat
How to Write the Manual
  Be clear – items     Discretionary
that are mandatory   items should use:
should say:
                       “may be”
  “will be”
                       “have the
   “must be”           authority to”

   “are required”
How to Write the Manual

One size does NOT fit all.

Manuals should be customized for each
organization, sometimes for each
department depending on the size of the
organization.
What goes into a Policy
