HR policies
Employee conduct guidelines
HR policies, short for human resources policies, are the formal guidelines and rules that govern how an organization manages its employees.
These cover matters like hiring, compensation, benefits, workplace conduct, disciplinary procedures, and termination.
Companies document HR policies in employee handbooks to establish consistent standards and protect both the organization and its workers from arbitrary treatment.
The new HR policies require mandatory harassment training for all supervisors.
