A staff handbook that’s customised to your business
Tailored to your needs
We’ll create a suite of policies that are tailored to your business’ specific requirements.
Enhanced maternity/paternity
If you want to give a little more to your staff, we’ll work with you to achieve that.
Sickness absence policy
Set out clear rules around how time off should be managed, helping your staff to focus on getting better.
Anti-harassment and bullying policy
Let your team know they are protected by a supportive, safe workplace.
GDPR
Protect your business and your employees with a privacy notice and data retention policy.
Social media policy
Clearly communicate what’s acceptable and what’s not when your employees use social media
Employment policies are not a legal requirement, but they certainly are crucial documents when it comes to employing people and we strongly recommend that you have a set which are appropriate for you and up to date.
Employment policies set out how your employees should behave in a variety of situations while working for your company. After all, telling people what you expect of them is important if you want them to behave a certain way. And if an incident ever arises where one of your team has not followed the policy, you can take action sensibly and more easily with that policy in place.
Different organisations have different activities and roles, and so will need an appropriate set of employment policies to address their needs. And these can change over time—for example many companies now have a Social Media policy and some also have an e-cigarette policy, neither of which would have existed fifteen years ago.
As part of our service, we can provide you with a staff handbook with all the employment policies you need to ensure that you’re covered. And if you already have your own we will review those to check that they are sufficient to meet your needs, and suggest new policies you might wish to add or changes we recommend you make.
What employment policies are included?
We offer 25 standard employment policies which will cover all the areas most companies might need, and we’ll work with you to tailor these documents to the specific needs of your business.
Policies are divided into six key areas; Family Friendly, General, Performance and Conduct, Wellbeing, Grievance, and Redundancy.
We will discuss with you which policies are necessary for your staff, and work to ensure they are tailored to your particular needs. For instance, you may want to offer an enhanced maternity or paternity policy, or go beyond statutory requirements for compassionate leave. Our expert HR consultants will put together the staff handbook that’s right for your business.
We’ll keep your policies up to date, so that as the law changes we will adjust policies as needed. This means you can relax knowing that your employment policies will always be up to date with the law.
Your staff can access all of your company’s policies any time, from any device, using citrusHR’s powerful online HR software.
