New HR in a Fertilizer Company: How Do I Create an Effective Code of Conduct?

I have newly appointed in a company that deals with Rock Phosphate, fertilizers, etc. There is no well-established HR Dept. I'm the only HR person there. As my first task, the MD of the company told me to prepare a Code of Conduct for the company. So I need help to prepare a COC. What should I include, what format should I adopt, etc.

Dear Divya,

As I mentioned before, I am a fresher, and because of that, I just want to know my seniors' views and experiences, which can help me improve my work. My seniors' work experience will help me perform my work efficiently. I believe the "talk to seniors" column is for taking help from seniors and sharing experiences.

Dear,

Do not worry, you are right in your point, but some people are born to criticize others. Take it positively. Basically, the code of conduct means rules and regulations for the company. Your company may not have certified standing orders; otherwise, these standing orders have all rules and regulations. If you have any other problems, you can write to me or contact me by phone.

Dear Ishita,

You can develop your standing order (if applicable to your company). Otherwise, you can purchase the model code of conduct of your state and then develop accordingly to your company rules and regulations, but all the matters should comply with legal law. Regarding format and other things, you can develop your company's internal code of conduct.

Please find attached the code of conduct for suppliers (for the Next client to suppliers). You can take help to understand how social and ethical requirements are communicated, and you can add all your HR-related policies of your company with all legal activities accordingly (your focus should be company to employee).

In case you encounter any problems, please let me know, and you can contact our branch offices which cover almost all major cities; our representative will assist you.

COC is the method to have uniform rules and regulations for the company. The HR Head has to ensure that rules are framed to govern the employees. Uniforms, incentives, mobile usage, leave policies, loans, and other welfare measures are all part of it.

When drafting a proposal, choose a specific topic and seek approval from your superiors. Remember to consult with the Heads of Departments (HODs) as they can provide valuable assistance.

Hi friend, here is a sample code of conduct for you. Hope it will help you meet your purpose.

Sir, thank you for the information you provided. Could you clarify one more thing? Should the hard copy of the code of conduct be signed by every employee of the company, or is there another way to obtain acknowledgment?

Thank you in anticipation for this.
