HR Management Standards

Standard 1.1
HR management policies are formalized, documented and approved by the appropriate authority.

Standard DetailsImplementation Considerations

HR management policies are formal written documents easily accessible by management, employees and key stakeholders.

Policies should include those issues that govern the work and actions of employees, such as:

  • Conflict of interest
  • Confidentiality
  • Working conditions
  • Compensation and benefits
  • Vacation and sick leave
  • Termination by employer
  • Performance management
  • Staff development
  • Harassment
  • Conflict resolution
  • Formal complaint process
  • Processes to review/update policies

Policies can be hard copy or electronic copy. 

Consideration can be given to providing the governing authority with a report on how policies are applied and any revisions that are being considered to the policies.
