Writing Human Resources Policies and Procedures

Write people policies that employees can understand and managers can apply consistently.

Writing Human Resources Policies and Procedures explores decisions and situations you may encounter at work. The proposed learning moves from core concepts to case discussions and tools you can examine in your own organisational context.

HR practitioners, people managers and learning and development colleagues.

Tell us your role, experience and the challenge you want to work on so we can help you assess the fit.

1. Distinguish policy intent from procedural steps and guidance.
2. Research stakeholders, organisational practice and review requirements.
3. Draft clear responsibilities, exceptions and approval pathways.
4. Plan consultation, communication and periodic policy review.

These are proposed, indicative learning topics. Confirm the final outline, duration, dates, requirements and any available certificate with the academy before booking.

A discussion can start with a case from your working context, focusing on this question: how would you distinguish policy intent from procedural steps and guidance? Compare approaches, discuss the evidence and limitations, then propose a next step.

This proposed practice supports learning and discussion. It is not a formal assessment or a guarantee of a professional outcome. Agree suitable exercises with the academy for your group.
