HR Policy Drafting refers to the process of creating a formal document that outlines a company’s rules, regulations, and procedures related to employment. These policies guide employees on expectations and behaviors, while safeguarding the employer legally.
A robust HR policy manual typically includes sections on recruitment, compensation, attendance, leaves, employee conduct, termination, grievance redressal, anti-discrimination measures, and more. It ensures consistency in administration and protects the organization from disputes or legal violations.
