New to HR? Seeking Advice on Essential Policies for a Comprehensive Manual

Hi All, I have recently joined a company, and they are asking me to implement different HR policies. I am a little bit confused about what matters I should include in the Human Resource Manual. Please help.

There is enough information in this forum regarding HR policies for various companies. Please conduct research and review the content to create your own manual tailored to your organizational needs.

Thank you,

HR Policies to Draft

For HR, you basically need to draft policies related to various types of leaves (including maternity, paternity, unpaid, and paid leaves), recruitment policy, working hours, benefits (such as medical reimbursement, insurance, and telephone reimbursement), conditions of employment, anti-harassment, attendance, general administration, confidentiality, and equal opportunity employment (if your company follows this principle).

Hi Swati, please review 2-3 HR manuals and policies from various companies, focusing on those that align with your business/industry. Afterward, draft similar documents tailored to fit our company's needs.

HR Policies: A Comprehensive Guide

HR policies are a very comprehensive and time-consuming topic. Do you have any senior HR person in your company? You can start by drafting a basic HR policy document.

You can include very basic policies like:
- Leave policy
- Working hours
- Travel expenses
- Reimbursement
- Payroll

Then slowly, as the size of the company grows, you can add policies as required.

You can find several policies across the internet, including many that you can purchase as templates and further tailor/customize them. Your management can be pleased if you prioritize the development/drafting based on immediate and urgent needs. You can start by asking, "What are the main pain points your organization's managers and employees draw your attention to?"

Hi All, I know it's too late, but I would like to thank you all. I have finally made a proper HR policy for my company. I really appreciate your help with the same.
