Description

Protect your business and improve employment relationships through effective workplace policies and procedures.
Workplace policies are essential for ensuring employers meet their obligations –
and for setting clear guidelines for staff.

Yet, case law shows that many employers face problems when managing workplace policies.

So why do policies and procedures create havoc when employers attempt to follow them?

Problems occur when policies are not properly written. Perhaps they are too stringent or restrictive, lack formal structure, or are missing key legal aspects.

Many employers have failed to follow their own policies, leading to personal grievance claims.

In this webinar, you will discover how to avoid common mistakes when drafting and enforcing workplace policies.

Our employment lawyer will take a practical approach to preparing workplace policies, with a focus on:

•  Writing clear and accessible workplace policies and procedures for your workforce
•  Legal requirements for inclusion in policies
•  Giving staff access to workplace policies
•  Consulting with staff about changes to workplace policies
•  Training and assessing staff on workplace policies
•  Essential workplace policies that protect your business and employee wellbeing
•  Avoiding common mistakes when drafting and managing policies
