CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION
A Company policy is a set of guidelines for employers and employees to follow the
defined procedures. It is a set of rules established for the business interest of the employer
and right of employees. A Company Policy is constructed based on the structure of the
business. It is implemented to manage certain areas within an organization such as;
company culture, dress code, health, mobile phone for personal use, tea and lunch breaks,
9
smoking rules, harassment policies, internet policies, communication with clients,
employee accountability, warnings attendance, timing, security, poor performance,
dishonesty, salary date, expenses, etc.
A Company Policy is ideally handed over to each employee at the time of employee
orientation that takes place right after hiring. Nowadays company use HRMS solutions to
store such important documents in a unified location that saves a lot of time.
One of the most significant qualities that make an organization a suitable place to
work is its healthy and safe practices and laying down these procedures in an
elaborate and clear to understand manner really makes a stark difference. Nobody
wants to work in a place where the lighting is not proper, conditions are unhygienic,
the floor is slippery, and surroundings are exposed to hazardous substances and
equipment. It is the right of every employee to work in a healthy and safe
10
environment. To ensure this, a proper workplace and safety policy must be in place
and implemented with accountability.
In most countries, the law says that companies must treat everyone equally when it
comes to jobs. This means they must not be unfair to people on account of their
gender, age, caste, or race. This rule is important for ensuring there’s no
discrimination, harassment, or violence at work and for having a diverse group of
people working together.
It is good for businesses in two ways: First, it gives them a bigger group of people to
choose from when hiring, so they can pick the best person for the job. Second, it
makes the workplace fair for everyone, so employees can get along, work well, and do
their best. When a company puts this rule in writing, it tells everyone that they really
mean it when they say everyone has an equal chance there.
An Employee Code of Conduct Policy is a set of guidelines that explain how employees
should behave while they are at work. It covers diverse topics like following the law,
dressing appropriately, being responsible for their actions, avoiding conflicts of
interest, and not taking financial gains that could affect their job. This policy is
important because it helps employees understand the company’s values and culture,
ensures legal compliance, and maintains a positive work environment. It also provides
rules for handling workplace issues, such as conflicts of interest and ethical behavior.
Violating this policy can result in disciplinary actions. This policy is regularly reviewed
and updated to keep it relevant and effective.
A Leave of Absence Policy allows employees to request specific periods of time off
from work for several reasons, such as family caregiving, health issues, or personal
needs. This policy outlines the process for requesting and approving leaves, balancing
11
employee needs with the company’s operational requirements. While on leave,
employees may not receive compensation, but previously accrued benefits should be
maintained. Leave types can include parental leave, voluntary leave for personal
reasons, and mandatory medical leaves. You can also add birthday leaves, comp offs,
floater leaves to incentivize the arduous work put by employees. Employers should
follow established policies, contracts, and legal requirements when granting leaves to
ensure a positive work environment and legal compliance.
Get Everyone Involved: Start by gaining unanimous support from management and
employees for the new policy. Clearly explain the reason behind it and why it is
necessary. Policy Team: Developing company policy must involve collaboration. Build
a team of knowledgeable people and experts in policy making. Their contributions
ensure a comprehensive and effective policy.
12
Create a standardized structure for your policies. Although details may vary, they
should always include:
Instructions: Describe specific rules, instructions, and any regulatory changes that
employees must follow.
2. Applicability: Make it clear who will follow the policy and how they can comply with
it.
4. Glossary: Includes a list of key terms and their definitions for clarity.
Policy Priorities: If you need to create multiple policies, prioritize them based on
immediate needs and short-term benefits. Focus on policies that deliver rapid
improvement.
Do Your Homework: Before writing a policy, thoroughly research the company and the
purpose of the policy. This ensures that your policy is well informed and effective.
Research Methods: Consult experts in the relevant field. Collect feedback through
company surveys and employee interviews. Stay up to date with relevant laws and
regulations, especially those related to the subject matter of the policy.
Flexible Language: Remember that company policy is not a rigid contract. Write it in
flexible language so it is easy and engaging for employees to follow. This will guide
behavior without appearing too strict.
By following these steps, you can create a company policy that is well-informed,
widely accepted, and benefits your organization and its employees.
Pulling corporate policies and procedures together can seem daunting, as there are so
many you can have.
13
You can introduce this all in one go in a Staff Handbook, or you can focus on what's
most important and build on the bank of policies bit by bit.
If you're taking this latter approach, the best place to start is with the mandatory
policies an employer must have. These policies are as follows:
A. Disciplinary Procedure
B. Grievance Procedure
As stated above, the ERA 1996 requires that a company references their grievance
procedure in the section 1 statement provided to employees. The grievance procedure
provides a clear mechanism for raising complaints formally. Having the policy ensures
you've complied with your legal obligation and sets out clear ways for your employees
to communicate complaints and concerns and how the company will handle them.
Mandatory if you have more than five employees. The policy has the aim of protecting
workers from harm while at work. This includes protection from physical harm and
potential health complications resulting from their work. Having the policy in place has
moral benefits whilst protecting an employer from a financial and legal point of view.

According to Ployhart (2006), "Recruitment means the efforts from an organization to
identify, attract and influence the job choices of competent applicants".
Taylor and Collins (2000) gave another definition of "Recruitment":"Recruitment
includes the set of activities undertaken by the organization for the primary purpose of
identifying a desirable group of applicants, attracting them into its employee ranks,
and retaining them at least for the short term".
To my mind, these definitions are a little bit different but they have a point in
common: the fact to attract and influence applicants.
It is about calling on the own company 's employees or external contacts to find out
new potential recruits. It may be a very effective way to look for new applicants
because it lets the company to save costs of advertising, time, to get recommended
people and then to feel assured about the candidate 's level of quality (DeVaro, 2005).
However, this mode of recruitment could be discriminatory (Foot, M. and Hook, C.,
2011) to the extent that it may not enable people from other ethnic origins,
environments or socio-economic status to get access in your job offers.
Each recruitment channel can be judged on its effectiveness by various indicators such
as the total cost of hire, the number of sourced candidates and the long term success
of hires.
Indeed, certain variables can influence the choice of recruitment channels which are
selected by the companies depending on the position and the needs of the
organisation These are:
- the requirements of the specific position
Most of the time (statistically 85%), the company favours online channels to recruit
such as LinkedIn, Monster, alumni associations of Business or Engineer schools and
employment websites. The CIPD annual surveys of recruitment have shown an
increasing usage of e-recruitment methods from the beginning of the 21st century
(CIPD, 2006 and 2007 from Foot, M. and Hook, C., 2011).
17
Even when the brand calls on head-hunters only for unique and selected profiles, they
realized that the candidates presented by Head-hunters can also be found online by
placing an add via LinkedIn or Monster.
However, there are some disadvantages to note about e-recruitment. Online
recruitment negatively impacts the process of recruiting due to the lack of knowledge
from older people of the internet. In addition to that, it could result in an increased
number unfitted candidates. (CIPD, 2009a from Foot, M. and Hook, C., 2011)
Besides, it is unfortunately not possible to apply directly from the company website.
Since all recruitments on the company are based on specific profiles, the HR manager
prefers to control the process by herself. She thinks that this hiring mode is more
suitable for big company like McDonalds looking for simple CVs.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
The education industry is expanding rapidly and its many businesses are eager for
new talent, including experienced professionals and enthusiastic individuals just
entering the workforce. The education industry can be described as the collection of
organizations and businesses that provide products and services aimed at enhancing
the quality of education in society. Read more to gain a complete overview of the
education industry.
23
Organizations in the education sector include traditional colleges and universities
as well as companies focused on training and development for clients that range
from an individual learner to global corporations to online content delivery. As a
whole, the industry is responsible for training individuals of all ages to learn new
skills, obtain meaningful employment, and help accelerate the economic growth,
by delivering education in traditional classroom settings or via online training over
the Internet.
The education industry also includes ancillary education services, such as after-
school tutoring, charter schools, special or alternative education, educational
content suppliers, and the professional development of administrators and
teachers. This section contains articles that help learn more about this sector and
understand its unique dynamics, opportunities, and challenges.
The education industry must adapt to the challenges of containing costs, differing
views on standardized learning, competing for students, and adapting to changing
economic needs. Industry players adopt unique strategies to overcome these
challenges by forming education partnerships, adapting to new technologies, and
developing customized and personalized learning programs. This section also
discusses these challenges and provides a framework to adapt to these challenges.
The targeted audience for this section are consulting houses, teachers, students
and learners, education industry investors, and all size companies that sell
products or services to education players; organizations looking for knowledge
and key business information in the education industry and players interested in
content development for this sector.
24
The two biggest economies India and China present huge opportunities for the
Education Industry. Take the example of India alone where the education market
constitutes of people with a median age of 25 years, has a target base of over 550
million people below the age of 25 years. This means that the number of people in
India needing primary and secondary education alone exceeds the entire
population of the USA. Since these students will be seeking higher education in
India over the next decade it illustrates the sheer size of the Indian education
market.
