HR 101

HR managers, department heads, and supervisors are typically responsible for implementing HR policies within their respective teams. They’ll ensure adherence and compliance across the organisation. But that’s not necessarily the case for startups. Approaches to HR are typically more flexible in new ventures, falling on the shoulders of company founders who already have a number of plates to spin. We’re here to alleviate that burden.

More than a mere rule book, HR policies provide clarity and structure for managers and employees alike. When they’re well-written, they establish expectations, manage fairness and consistency, and protect the organisation in HR legal issues – safeguarding, regulating, and clarifying the rights and responsibilities of the employer and its employees.

If companies don’t clearly write, distribute, and update their policies properly, legal penalties, fines, and lawsuits can be just the tip of the iceberg. Non-compliance can also lead to loss of employee trust, reduced morale, and operational disruptions that hinder business growth. Don’t let complacency jeopardise success.
