What benefits can businesses gain from having well-developed HR policies in place?

Formal written procedures evidence an organisation's compliance with relevant law and legislation. Having policies in place will help to promote fairness and transparency, and by developing procedures for handling employment issues, you benefit from peace of mind in knowing that managers are equipped to approach matters fairly and consistently.

Well-developed policies will help protect the organisation in the event of a legal claim and ensure that employees know their rights and entitlements.
