HR Standards


HR Management Standards

Standard 1.1
HR management policies are formalized, documented and approved by the Board or approval as designated to the CEO/ED.

Standard Details Implementation Considerations

HR management policies are formal written documents easily accessible by management, employees and key stakeholders.

Policies should include those issues that govern the work and actions of employees, such as:

  • Employee information
  • Performance management
  • Hiring
  • Holidays
  • Hours of work
  • Leaves of absence
  • Overtime
  • Termination
  • Vacation

Policies can be hard copy or electronic copy, and must be made easily accessible to all employees.

Consideration can be given to providing the governing authority with a report on how policies are applied and any revisions that are being considered to the policies.
