Policies and procedures can govern many aspects of a workplace and are capable of conferring a broad range of obligations on employees and the business itself. Some documents, such as a Workplace Health and Safety policy, are mandated by law.
Whereas others, such as a code of conduct, can be a useful (albeit optional) tool for an employer to make clear its expectations of behaviour and the consequences for breaching those standards.
Whether you need to start thinking about how you implement policies and procedures in your workplace, or whether you need to ensure these documents are up to date and relevant, our workplace team has the knowledge and experience to assist you.
