BENEFITS OF HR POLICIES
Organizations should have personnel policies as they ensure the following benefits:
a. The work involved in formulating policies requires that the management give deep
thought to the basic needs of both the organization and the employees. The
management must examine its basic convictions as well as give full consideration to
the prevailing practices in other organizations.
b. Established policies ensure consistent treatment of all personnel throughout the
organization. Favoritism and discrimination are, thereby, minimized.
c. Continuity of action is assured even though top management personnel change. The
CEO of a company may possess a very sound personnel management philosophy.
He/she may carry the policies of the organization in his/her head, and he she may
apply them in an entirely fair manner. But what happens when he/she retires? The
tenure of office of nay manager is finite. But the organization continues. Policies
promote stability.
d. Policies serve as a standard of performance. Actual results can be compared with the
policy to determine how well the members of the organization are living upto the
professional intentions.
e. Sound policies help build employee motivation and loyalty. This is especially true
where the policies reflect established principles of fair play and justice and where they
help people grow within the organization.
f. Sound policies help resolve intrapersonal, interpersonal and intergroup conflicts.

B) RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research Methodology is a term made up of two words, research & methodology.
Research means search for knowledge. It is a scientific and systematic search for potential
information on a specific topic. It is an art of scientific investigation. It is careful
5 | Page
investigation or inquiry especially for search of new fact in any branch of knowledge. Data
can be of two types primary and secondary data. Primary data are those which are collected
afresh and for the first time, and it is in original form. Primary data can be collected either
through experiment or through survey. The researcher has chosen the survey method for data
collection. In case of survey, data can be collected by any one or more of the following ways:
Observation
Questionnaire
Personal or Group Interview
Telephone survey
Communication with respondents
Analysis of documents and historical records
Case study
Small group study of random behavior
The researcher has chosen the questionnaire methods of data collection due to limited time in
hand. While designing data-collection procedure, adequate safeguards against bias and
unreliability must be ensured. Whichever method is selected, questions must be well
examined and be made unambiguous. Researcher has examined the collected data for
completeness, comprehensibility, consistently and reliability.
Researcher has also gathered secondary data which have already been collected and analyzed
by someone else. He got information from journals, historical documents, magazines and
reports prepared by the other researchers.
For the present piece of research the investigator has used the following methods:
Questionnaire
Interview
Observation

According to Dale Yoder the scope of Human Resources Management is very wide. It
consists of the following functions:
Setting general and specific management, policy for organizational relationships, and
co-operation.
Opportunities for personal development and growth as well as for acquiring requisite
skills and experience.
A sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from the sampling frame. It
refers to the technique or the procedure the researcher would adopt in selecting some
sampling units from which inferences about the population is drawn. Sampling
design is determined before any data are actually collected for obtaining a sample
from a given population. The researchers must decide the way of selecting a sample.
There are various methods of sampling like systematic sampling, random sampling,
deliberate sampling, mixed sampling, cluster sampling, etc. Among these methods of
sampling researcher has used random sampling so that bias can be eliminated and
sampling error can be estimated. Designing samples should be made in such a
fashion that the samples may yield accurate information with minimum amount of
research effort.
7 | Page
SAMPLING :
The items so selected constitute what is technically called a sample, their selection
process or technique is called sample design and the survey conducted in the basis of
sample is described as sample survey.
SAMPLE SIZE :
In sampling design the most complicated question is: what should be the size of the sample.
If the sample size is too small, it may not serve to achieve the objectives and if it is too large,
we may incur huge cost and waste resources. So sample must be of an optimum size that is, it
should neither be excessively large nor too small. Here, researcher has taken 30 as the sample
size.
b) LIMITATIONS:
There is a constraint with regard to time allocated for the research study.
All policies are not suitable for every organisation, as different policies are suitable
for different organisations.
The policies introduced by the organisation may not satisfy every employee.

LITERATURE REVIEW
9 | Page
Human resource (HR) departments are responsible for many of the key systems and
processes, including recruitment, training and communications, on which effective delivery
of corporate responsibility initiatives depend, claims the new report just released by the
Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD).
The report, Corporate Social Responsibility and HRs Role, says that effective
implementation of HR policies on employee consultation, diversity, fair treatment and worklife balance are fundamental to projecting the image of a responsible employer.
Corporate social responsibility should start with getting the relationship with employees
right. Otherwise it is most unlikely that the organisation will be able to discharge
convincingly its obligations to the wider community," said Mike Emmott, Head of Employee
Relations and the reports author.

and health care -- have special considerations. But perhaps the most critical factor in policy
development is your company's culture.
Many start-ups advocate a freewheeling, laid-back approach that is conducive to creativity
and innovation. Conversely, businesses with conglomerate aspirations may feel that structure
and process are necessary evils for long-term success. One policy does not fit all!
I urge you to factor in your company's unique start-up status when considering any new
policies. Some entrepreneurs may wonder how they can issue new policies without
jeopardizing the existing culture of the organization. I believe it is possible if you keep a few
things in mind.
Seek ways to minimize the negative effects. One technique is to issue a set of policies
at once. The bundling approach avoids sensationalizing specific issues while allowing
the company to get the message across.
Give appropriate reasons for implementation. For example, if your employees own
stock in the company, they will likely understand and appreciate your setting up
certain standards and protections. Pre-IPO start-ups can explain to employees that
they must be especially sensitive to the negative publicity and resulting impact in the
investment community that could result from a policy oversight.
In start-ups, as in many other organizations, how you send the message is as important
as the message itself. Keep in mind that a policy is just another form of helping your
employees understand your perspective.
Regardless of your corporate culture, certain policies should be established within all
companies so as to limit liability. I recommend that these policies include:
Equal employment
Employment at will
You should make it clear to all employees that ethical behavior, equal opportunity, and
respect for other employees are key to the employment relationship. Similarly, you should
state that either party can end employment at any time and that no policy constitutes a
11 | P a g e
contractual obligation to employees on the part of the company. Lastly, it should be clear that
the company reserves the right to change any policy at any time.

Creating a good HR policy requires an immense amount of preparation, time and effort. The
process demands an analytical approach, involving focused thinking, researching, writing and
rewriting. Creating an HR policy should never take place in a vacuum. The process must
involve others in the organization who clearly understand the organization's goals, mission,
priorities and objectives. The best use of an HR policy is to assist management in making
strategic decisions and aid in running the organization. This involves using clear and concise
language that clarifies the policy. The policy must be effective and enforceable with
acceptance from both management and employees.
Instructions
Identify the critical policy issues for your organization. Correspond with others in the
organization responsible for development or implementation of policies to determine
legal consequences; other agreements or policies that may influence the policy under
consideration; other issues that may affect the policy once implemented; and any
funding requirements to implement the policy.
Collect information on the issue the policy under consideration addresses. Consider
the following: How has the organization handled the issue in the past? Does the size
of the organization warrant such a policy? What does the organization seek to
accomplish with the policy? What time and resource requirements will the policy
create? Does the policy align with the organization's mission and philosophy?
Create a neat and organized layout for the HR policy. Each section requires
numbering with a title clearly defined in bold type. All pages need numbering, along
with the total page count for the policy. Define the name of the policy and the
corresponding section on each page as the header and footer. Use a clear, legible font,
such as Arial, when typing the policy. Use double spacing between paragraphs and
sections and include at least one-inch spacing around the margins.
12 | P a g e
Draft the policy by beginning with the name of the policy at the top of the document.
Make sure the name reflects the issue the organization seeks to address.
Record the date of effectiveness for the policy, or revision date if changing a current
policy, below the title.
Record the approval status of the policy directly after the effective date. This status
reflects "DRAFT" until final approval.
List all references to other policies corresponding to this one.
Write the purpose of the policy as the next section. The purpose should outline the
reason for the policy and what the organization aims to accomplish.
Write the main policy statement as the next section. The main statement should
articulate the actual policy the organization seeks to set forth.
Write the next section to set forth the scope of the policy, dictating who it applies to in
the organization.
Write the next section to cover all exceptions to the policy.
Write the next section to define the departments and specific individuals responsible
for the implementation of the policy and carrying out all enforcement procedures.
Write the next section, in numbered steps, to include all procedures required to
implement and enforce the policy.
Disseminate the policy to individuals identified in the organization who have the
ability to proofread and edit the document to ensure legal compliance; and that the
policy aligns with organizational missions, goals and objectives.
Revise the HR policy according to the recommendations once the document circulates
through the organization.
13 | P a g e
Seek approval from executive leadership or the board. Update the effective date to
show final approval date.

Functions of HRM:
Every organization has certain functions to perform. These functions of Human Resource
Management can be broadly classified in to two categories.
Managerial Functions:
Managing people is the essence of being a manager. Like other managers, a human resource
manager performs the functions of planning, Organising, Directing and Controlling.
Planning: A plan is a predetermined course of action. Planning is the process of deciding the
goals and formulation policies and programmers achieve the goals. Planning involves
forecasting and research. Planning helps to face successfully the changes that are likely to take
place in future. Without planning events are left to chance. Planning is the means to manage
change. Planning today avoids crisis tomorrow.
In the area of Human Resource Management, planning involves deciding personnel goals,
formulation personnel policies and programs, preparing the human resource budget, etc.
Organizing: In order to implement the plans, a sound organization structure is required.
Organizing is the process of allocating tasks among them and integrating their activities
19 | P a g e
towards the common objectives. The right organization structure is the foundation of effective
management because without it the best performance in all other areas will be ineffective.
Organization is the frame through which management directs controls and co-ordinates the
efforts of people.
Controlling: It implies checking, verifying and regulating to ensure that everything occurs in
conformity with the plans adopted and the instructions issued. Such monitoring helps to
minimize the gap between desired results and actual performance. Controlling the
management of human resource involves auditing, training programs, analyzing labour turn
over records, directing marale surveys, conducting separation interviews and such other
means.

The operative or service functions of human resource management are the tasks, which are
entrusted to the personnel department. These functions are concerned with specific activities

Procurement function: it is concerned with securing and employing the right kind and proper
number of people required accomplishing the organizational objectives .It of activities like
job analysis, Human Resource Planning, Recruitment, Selection, Placement and Introduction
or Orientation.

present and future jobs more efficiently. This functions comprises activities like
performance potential appraisal, training, executive development and career planning
and development.
SCOPE OF HRM:
The Indian Institute of personnel Management has described the scope of human resource
management into the following aspects:

People are social capital capable of development (people are variable cost)
Seeks power equalization for trust and collaboration (seeks power advantage for
bargaining and confrontation).
Proactive system wide intervention, with emphasis on fit linking HRM with strategic
planning and cultural change (old assumption reactive, piecemeal intervention in
response to specific problem).
Outcomes to HRM

evaluated under four headings:
Commitment
Competence
Congruence
22 | P a g e
Cost-effectiveness
Commitment :
Concerned employees loyalty to the organization personal motivation and linking for their
work. The degree of employee commitment might be assessed via attitude surveys labor
turnover and absenteeism statistics and through interview with the workers who quit their
jobs.
Competence :
Relates to employees skills and abilities, training, requirements and potential for higher work.
These may be estimated through employee appraisal system and the preparation of skills
inventories. HRM policies should be designed to attract, retain and motivate competent.
Congruence :
Congruence means that management and workers share the same vision of the organization
goals and work together to attain them. In a well-managed organization, employees at all
levels of authority will share common perspectives about the factors that determine its

Human resources policies are systems of codified decisions, established by an organization,
to support administrative personnel functions, performance management, employee relations
and resource planning.
Each company has a different set of circumstances, and so develops an individual set of
human resource policies.
29 | P a g e
The establishment of policies can help an organization demonstrate, both internally and
externally, that it meets requirements for diversity, ethics and training as well as its
commitments in relation to regulation and corporate governance. For example, in order to
dismiss an employee in accordance with employment law requirements, amongst other
considerations, it will normally be necessary to meet provisions within employment contracts
and collective bargaining agreements. The establishment of an HR Policy which sets out
obligations, standards of behaviour and document diplomacy procedures, is now the standard
approach to meeting these obligations.
HR policies can also be very effective at supporting and building the desired organizational
culture. For example recruitment and retention policies might outline the way the
organization values a flexible workforce, compensation policies might support this by
offering a 48/52 pay option where employees can take an extra four weeks holidays per year
and receive less pay across the year.
The various procedures that form the HR Policy of the Organization are:
1. Recruitment and selection of manpower
2. Induction and Placement
3. Job Rotation
4. Performance appraisal
5. Counseling
6. Career Planning
7. Succession planning
8. Employee training and Development
9. Human Resource Information Management System
10. Retirement Planning
11. Job Enrichment
12. Exit Interviews
30 | P a g e

HR policies, and any policy for that matter, are useful for four purposes:
Information (to make employees aware), Inducement (to facilitate the adoption of desired
behavior), Enforcement (to require employees to adopt desired behavior to avoid penalty),
and Benefaction (to offer benefits or incentives to people employees who modify their
behavior in the desired direction). In real terms, an HR policy manual is useful to both
employer and employee because it is the companys basic bible on how to treat employees
and it is the set of rules that govern the employee from the day he applies up to his last day in
the company, and sometimes even beyond.
In broad strokes, the basic contents of an HR policy are company vision and mission, code of
conduct, and personnel administration. HR policies usually originate from labor laws,
documented best practices, management decisions, collective bargaining agreements, and
industry benchmarks.
Companies can have the most beautifully worded and graphically presented HR policies, all
within the bounds of law. The real challenge, however, is in their implementation the
process of converting intention into action. When this process fails, an implementation gap
deviations between policy and actual practice occurs. There are two types of
implementation gaps: non-implementation, where policy is simply not put into practice, and
unsuccessful implementation, where, despite best efforts, applying the policy does not
produce desired results. The second type is attributable to bad execution, bad policy or bad
luck. Implementation gaps can lead to crises such as lawsuits and unrestrained turnover. A
policy that is brilliant in words but lacklustre in implementation is similar to not having a
policy at all.
Multinational companies have their own challenges in HR policy implementation. They have
to marry global standards with the laws of the country where the company is headquartered
with the laws of the country where they operate. Whatever the case, HR policy
implementation will be greatly improved when these 11 success factors are present:
1. Soundness a sound policy is based on valid theory. For example, motivation strategies
are based on established motivation theories. A sound policy has well defined objectives and
implementation guidelines. In addition, HR policies have to be aligned with the companys
69 | P a g e
vision, mission and business priorities so that policies do not only pursue outputs but impacts
as well.
2. Simplicity a policy is easy to propagate when it is easy to understand, implement and
communicate.
3. Leadership implementation depends largely on solid leadership at all levels of the
organization. Top level management as policy sponsors, mid-level managers and first level
supervisors as implementers, and rank and file employees as converts. Everyone in the
company has to be a policy champion, not a passive complier. In the overall scheme, it is the
HR department that shepherds HR policies and it is crucial that those in the HR department
possess astute implementation ability, people skills and legal knowledge.
4. Ample resources what good is a policy on bonuses and incentives when it is habitually
violated because no resources are allocated?
5. Organizational flexibility rigidities in structures, processes and attitudes can capture HR
policies in limbo. Organizational adaptability is necessary so as to absorb beneficial changes
while deflecting harmful ones. This is especially advantageous when HR policies need to be
updated due to changes in laws, competition, corporate culture, and agreements with labor
union, among others.
6. Objective it balances the interests of the company and its employees.
7. Degree of change required is manageable radical change is met with high resistance
while marginal change is welcomed with high acceptance. Some policies take longer to
implement because of ingrained attitudes and the corresponding unlearning required as is true
in the case of equal opportunity employment.
8. Healthy communication HR policies have to be clearly communicated so as to leave no
room for ambiguity. They have to be cascaded to all employees to make them feel a sense of
ownership of the policies. The HR department has to be responsive in clarifying points when
necessary.
9. Adequate participation of employees without the commitment of employees, policies are
nothing but empty declarations. Participation can be obtained either through coercion or
encouragement. It is a good sign when employees raise questions about HR policies. It means
they are paying attention.
10. Clear consequences rewards and penalties are accurately applied. Double standards are
not tolerated.
11. No insurmountable external constraint even the best policies go awry when force
