Hi neetu,
I agree that you want to formulate policies for HR, but you have not given any background of your company i.e. about production, manpower, geographical locations etc. which are required for formulating the policies.
Randi
Hi
HR policies are kind of a vast field :-) Please specify what HR policies your company already have and what kind of focus you are looking for.
Is a basis HR policies like working hours, breaks etc. or is it more "speciality" policies like sexual harassment. etc?

you can check it if its of any use.

Introduction to the Job Candidate Evaluation Form

This form enables your staff members, who are participating in the interview process with a candidate, to assess the individual's qualifications. The format provides a method for comparing the interviewers' impressions of various candidates.

The questions also provide guidance about the type of skills and potential contributions the interviewers should be assessing in each candidate they interview. This format allows you to customize the questionnaire with any additional assessments you believe are necessary for the pertinent position.

Over time, you will want to develop customized questions for every position you commonly fill. Even in the short term, provide some guidance to the managers and other interviewers about which questions each interviewer is responsible for asking.

As an example, when hiring a salesperson, the hiring manager might have the responsibility to assess the individual's sales ability, his or her aggressiveness, and other specific work requirements.

The Human Resources Director may want to assess the candidate's cultural fit with both questions and observations about how the candidate treated staff. A peer will want to know how the candidate works in a team environment, how the candidate handles rejection, how the candidate gets leads and how the person might fit as a coworker.

If you share questions and responsibility across interviewers, you will learn more about the candidate. You will discover whether the candidate "fits" your organization. The candidate will not experience the same interview questions repeatedly.

Take a look at the suggested format and remember that you can print out a printer-friendly copy by clicking the printer at the top of the link boxes to the right.

Are You Getting the Best Benefit From Your Benefits?

Part 1: Benefits Overview

Is your benefits package giving you the payback you deserve in increased employee appreciation and satisfaction? Chances are, it’s not. On average, organizations spend 41 cents for benefits for every dollar of payroll. That’s 29 percent of the total employee compensation package. Research reported in the journal, Personnel Psychology, suggests that employees only understand and appreciate between 31 and 68 percent of the cost or market value of the benefits they receive.

Employees undervalue their benefits for many reasons including: employers communicate the value of the benefits poorly, the employees have little or no choice in benefits packages or options, and the employees misunderstand the market value of benefits.

Maximize the Value of Benefits Expenditures

Employers can overcome these factors by allowing employees to make choices and by providing lots of information. You can jump start the education process by providing paycheck inserts that detail your cost for each employee benefit. Other ways to get employees to think about the value of their benefits include interactive computer quizzes, benefits fairs, telephone hot lines, workplace posters and video tapes or television.

Firms that wish to maximize the value of their benefits expenditures need to survey their employees to ask them what they value and how much. Benefits surveys or focus groups are important first steps in understanding employee preferences. Relevant questions might include the following.

What benefits are most important to you?

If you could choose one new benefit, what would it be?

If you were given X dollars for benefits, how would you spend them?

Follow-up research about the cost of the benefits employees desire can help you determine which programs will provide the most “bang for the buck.” On the basis of the data developed, you can adapt your benefit offerings or provide choices consistent with organizational objectives such as employee retention or performance.

The variety of benefits offered today is immense. Some benefits, such as medical and retirement benefits, are almost institutionalized or expected in the United States. However, others are not—and these are the benefits that set companies apart. Organizational values are often manifest in the benefits organizations offer. Thus, they help to establish an organization’s positive reputation in the marketplace.

So, isn't it about time to reconsider the benefits package your company offers? Following is a long list of benefits that are offered across hundreds of U.S. firms. The cost of these benefits varies as do employee and employer perceptions about the value they deliver. The key for organizations looking for a competitive edge is to determine what benefits you can provide that are most valued and useful to employees. Hopefully, these benefits will approach a 1:1 cost to perceived benefit ratio!

How To Set a Dress Code

If anyone in your organization deals with the public, you should have a dress code for all employees. A dress code is a simple document that tells people in various functions what is appropriate work attire, and why.

Here's How:

Decide what you want the dress code to say about your business.

Talk to your customers. Ask how they would like to see your employees dress.

Talk to your employees. Ask them what they consider appropriate.

Be flexible. Recognize that what is appropriate dress for the loading dock may not be appropriate for an outside sales person.

Be realistic. You won't get stock clerks into wearing suits and ties.

Publish a draft to your employees. The draft should say what the business purpose of the dress code is as well as lay out the rules.

Ask for employee feedback and listen to it.

Revise the dress code based on their feedback and then publish it.

Try it and see how it works. Adjust as necessary.

Tips:

Err on the stricter side first. It's easier to relax a dress code than to tighten it.

COMPANY NAME

HR POLICY MANUAL

Designed & Compiled By:



HR DEPARTMENT



PREFACE

First write company name. HR Policy Manual is a resource document containing personnel policy for employees. Throughout the manual, individuals have been referred to generically as "employees," regardless of their grades. It is expected that HR department of company name will administer these policies in a consistent and equitable manner. The provisions of the manual are not conditions of employment and may be modified, revoked, or changed by the Management, with or without notice, at any time. Personnel questions which cannot be answered by this manual or Policies and Procedures should be referred to the HR department. While we try to ensure that this document reflects current company name HR Policy, at times there may be a lag between a change in policy and an update of this document. You should contact HR committee to ensure that the policy statement contained in this document is the most current.



Regards,

HR Dept

INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE OF HR POLICY MANUAL

This manual not only outlines the company’s policy toward the various phases of the employer-employee relationship, but it also indicates how policy is to be administered. Research and experience has shown that written policies promote consistency, continuity, and understanding within an organization. When policies are put into writing in the form of a manual, they add a visual effect to their overall purpose. Moreover, written policies help management by eliminating the need for time-consuming and expensive memos, bulletins, and announcements. Moreover, fellow employees feel a deeper understanding of their role in the organization when they realize that policies are written and thereby uniformly administered.

Primarily, the Policy Manual is an important tool for supervision. Policies promote a movement toward responsibility rather than away from responsibility.

AUTHORITY & DISTRIBUTION

Every employee of COMPANY NAME. shall have access to this Policy Manual via A SERVER where it is saved as Human Resources policy manual.



COMPANY NAME reserves the right to change, modify, suspend, interpret or cancel its policies and practices at its sole discretion and without advance notice. This right extends to both published and unpublished policies.

Hey,
This is pretty useful. My company is setting up an office in India and I also need to make an HR Manual. I was wondering if there are any policies that are mandatory according to the law?
Can someone please let me know what is the best leave policy to have, including encashment and carry over.
Thanks,
Natasha
