Hi Savi,
Policy manuals are developed to help the team and management to run the organization. Developing policies for a new organization is a given opportunity.
Few things to mind before getting in:
1. Mission of the policy: what is the policy all about to do. Entitlement, what are verticals comes under the policy.
Ex: Leave Policy: Developing leave policy as per the laws (should have the knowledge)
2. Objective of the Policy: What is the achievement.
Ex:Types of leaves, Number of leaves, Encashment, Carry forward and ect...
3. Policy document: write up
Ex: Write up of the mission and Objectives.
4. Procedure and Forms: what is the procedure to carry out the policy and what are the forms to be used.
Ex: How employee can apply leave, leave forms, leave calendar, monthly leave tracker and yearly leave tracker.
