Once you have laid out your HR strategic blueprints, the next step in putting your HR house in order is building a firm foundation. Just like building an actual house, the foundation is a crucial step. This is what the entire Employee Lifecycle is built upon. Whether you are hiring your first employee or your 500th, you can optimize their integration and contribution to your organization by using a few key building blocks that build your HR foundation.
First, a well-written job description will ensure you have found the right candidate for the role and set clear work expectations. It will also provide a starting point for training and development plans and serve as a guide for performance management.
Next, an up-to-date Employee Handbook will welcome employees into your organization, communicate key information, and document employee receipt of policies and procedures. This is probably the single most important tool for HR compliance and liability prevention.
Finally, preform an HR Compliance Audit. This will ensure your policies, procedures, and forms are consistent with employment laws and best practices.
These are just a few examples of key HR foundation building blocks. Are you wondering if your organization is compliant with the myriad HR laws and regulations, and if your policies and procedures follow best practices for compliance and employee retention?
