Policies without understanding the work Culture & Environment in a start-up company

If we joined a start-up company, the first work is given to us by preparing all policies in a short duration of time. How will it be possible because first, we need to understand the work culture & environment, and then we will be able to make it. I just want to know how much time we need initially while preparing all policies.

Hi Partner,

I believe it can be expected that with a huge initial investment being put into a startup company, they may want to reach the breakeven point as fast as possible. This could result in long hours of work, wide variations in salaries among reportees and team leaders, fewer leaves, cost-cutting measures on administrative facilities, etc.

So, for a start, you could try working on policies related to leave and attendance, compensation, statutory benefits such as PF and ESI, code of conduct, and performance management. Candidates may want to know more about compensation and benefits before joining, so you could prioritize these for quick formulation.

Hope this helps to start.

Thank you, Mr. Nelson Thomas, for your prompt response and kind reply.

Could you please assist me by sharing a sample template of Attendance, Leave, and Exit interview policies for a start-up IT company? Alternatively, if you have an Employee Handbook available, that would be greatly appreciated.

I am specifically looking for policies tailored to an IT company.

Thank you in advance for your help. I look forward to your positive response.

I hope this might be helpful to you.
