INDIVIDUAL POLICY MANUAL AND RESEARCH PAPER INSTRUCTIONS
Instead of being a traditional research paper, this 2-part project will allow you to sharpen your critical thinking skills as well as focus more on your specific interests. This will prove to be a more efficient use of your time.
Part 1 – The Policy Manual (4 specific elements of a policy manual):
Assume that you are a member of an HR consulting team providing human resource management (HRM) consultation for a new small business that will have 4–10 employees (full-time and part-time). The business will open soon, and you are now developing a policy manual/employee handbook.
Select 4 issues that you will want to include in the policy manual; these issues must correspond with the general topics addressed in the textbook. For each issue, write a relevant policy that you believe would be needed in your business. Remember, this is a policy, not a procedure.
