How Do I Create Effective HR Policies for a Construction Company? Seeking Your Advice

Request for Guidance on HR Policies

Presently, I am working in a construction organization. My request is: please advise me on how to set the HR policies. Which contents should I include in the HR Policies draft? I am anticipating your response.

With Regards,

Hi team, I am working in a construction company as an HR manager. I am the first HR in the company, which is a partnership firm with around 100 to 150 employees.

Hello friends. I am Sundaram, and this is my 52nd year of working, out of which I spent 33 years with Larsen & Toubro in Delhi and Bangalore. I spent more than 20 years in the Construction and Mining Equipment business unit. For the past 11 years, I have been an HR Consultant and also a trainer. Please remember there are more than 150 policies for different industries. There is no standard booklet like the Bible, Quran, or Bhagavad Gita. Policies need to be discussed and finalized on a case-by-case basis. I have provided consultancy for my clients in India, Qatar, Dubai, etc. The policies should match the organization's vision, mission, and values. You cannot simply copy and paste. So, do not blindly copy and paste. You should have a good command of English to create policies; otherwise, any disgruntled employee may even take you to court.

The best advice would be to take any senior person like me as a consultant and design the employee policy handbook. In the process, you will also learn and grow.

I am on LinkedIn with 9800 contacts, and I have my own YouTube channel with 160 videos. I train people on soft skills and various HR topics. I also conduct HR audits and train people on that topic as well.

Best wishes
