Hi,

Could anybody please help me with what topics I should include in a policy manual that has to be made available to the employees? Also, let me know what are some important documents I should include in the employee joining kit.

Thanks,

Hi,

It was very useful information. I have a situation here. I am pursuing my Masters of Human Resources Management. I am in the UAE as part of my organizational internship. But now I realize that the company will not reveal their HR policy manual, and this is affecting me terribly as I will not be able to complete my project.

I am also supposed to undertake a project on any topic in HR. All that I have is access to the IT department, and they are very supportive but unable to help.

Need help... looking for a favorable response...

SP.

Hey, Hi, I'm Aishwarya. I'm pursuing a 2-year MBA. I am currently in the process of developing an HR Policy Manual for a private sector organization as part of my project. If someone could provide some sample material, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
