Good human resources management demands good policies. Human rights and employment standards legislation has exploded in recent years, requiring employers to maintain high levels of due diligence in the workplace. Complex issues such as pay and employment equity, harassment, discrimination, health and safety, and family benefits and compensations, require effective policies and constant communication from employers.

Best Practices: Employment Policies That Work is the definitive, best-selling guide to employment policy development. It contains a comprehensive selection of proven policy and procedure statements assembled from various Canadian firms and organizations. The guide is categorized under major subject headings, with an explanatory introduction to each section, plus an overall guide to developing a policy and procedure manual.

You can also see Develop Your Own Employee Handbook, a must-have for those translating employment policies for employees and Best Practices: Human Resources Forms Toolkit, which is a compendium of hundreds of HR forms ready for you to modify and use. Save time and effort by using the included ready-to-use templates on CD-ROM, available in Microsoft Word format. Cut and paste your own policy documents.
