In many organizations, human resource policies are out-of-date or incomplete and may not address current issues that now affect the workplace, such as bullying and harassment, use of social media, and other topics. This can result in disengaged employees who feel they are being treated unfairly. In some cases, it can result in lawsuits against the organization.
In completing a human resources policy review, we benchmark your policies and practices against industry best practices, ensuring they comply with applicable legislation in your jurisdiction, and develop new policies as needed.
