Effective HR policy and employee assessment

Now, and certainly tomorrow, human capital shall be a business’ most important asset. Human resources, talent, employees – can make or break an organisation.

Not only is it important to recruit key employees but to train them appropriately, measure their effectiveness and provide useful feedback and rewards when desired behaviour is achieved.

HR policies and procedures form one part of that process. Employee assessment and appraisal for example, requires behaviour and outcomes to be measured. Recording the result is a good idea – but many organisations allow paper pushing to become a measure of achievement. Having the paperwork handed to the line manager on time is only half the story – what matters is bottom line results.

So go the extra mile and follow up on monthly employee assessments, circulate the no smoking policy to staff by email, post an article on the benefits of healthy lifestyle choices on the intranet, and consider how to best reward employees – extra cash bonuses, or more flexible childcare for example?

Recording the results with employment policies, procedures, employee assessment forms and well drawn employment contracts is one thing but ensuring that HR initiatives are completed 100% requires more than paperwork.
