Policy development

Policies and procedures are an important form of internal control. They define the boundaries for good conduct, identify the standards and approaches to be utilised, and align available resources around the most efficient achievement of the company mission.

Policy development should focus on a mix of short and long-term timeframes, enabling the organisation to address current needs, whilst preparing for the horizon. Processes should map out workflows to create efficiency, backed by procedures to define the exact method and standards.

Does your organisation have all it needs?

Talent policy

Every organisation must have a talent management policy aligned with the organisation’s strategic goals and objectives. Current best practice and research indicate a holistic talent policy framework, which facilitates cross-functional talent solutions, is the most effective approach. Your talent policy needs to encompass the employee across the talent life-cycle.

Process and procedure development

We can help you to establish, write, and communicate new and existing procedures in your organisation. As part of this, we will create process maps to aid staff in following and documenting the procedures. We also understand that a business is a fluid enterprise; it must move with and meet the expectations of the customers. Therefore, it is vital that we manage your HR processes to make sure they are still working and achieving the goals they were intended to reach.

We are able to redesign your existing talent policy and process or consult to design a fresh approach for your organisation, aligned to best practice.

Job analysis

Job descriptions form the foundation of many HR activities including recruitment, performance management and compensation.  It is imperative that the job description accurately defines the role, responsibilities, duties and contributions.

We can either develop job descriptions for you or design a framework for HR to implement following a three-step development process.

Job Description Development

We follow the latest thinking in job description design and best practices and involve all the relevant stakeholders to ensure that they are:

  • Written by people who know the job
  • Updated every three years, or as the nature of the job/ organisation changes
  • Inclusive of all  the essentials of the job and specific to your organisation
  • Embrace change
