Employment Policies
Policies and procedures set the standard for ethical and constructive behaviour at work
Clear, up-to-date and robust employment policies inform employees what is and is not appropriate behaviour in your workplace, and help staff to comply with your expectations. Effective employment policies, backed by robust complaints procedures, help reduce the likelihood of harassment, discrimination and bullying occurring at work.
Strong employment policies and complaint-management procedures also ensure you can respond with confidence if your staff act inappropriately.
Too often, employers do not have effective, clear or compliant policies and procedures. They fail to effectively communicate these to stakeholders, or they do not enforce or follow them. This can leave you exposed if there is a complaint about inappropriate behaviour or misconduct at work.
To minimise risk and ensure your employment policies and procedures are current, reviews should be undertaken at least annually to reflect new legal standards, as well as after any workplace complaint investigation or policy challenge.

My team recently had the pleasure of participating in an exceptional Workplace Investigation Training program with Worklogic. Jason’s expertise and wealth of experience was obvious. His deep knowledge of workplace dynamics, legal considerations, and investigative techniques created a learning environment that was both engaging and enlightening.
