What updates have we made to our HR documents and what templates are available via the HR platform

HR documents and templates are the backbone of the procedures that govern everything from onboarding an employee to entering into agreements with their new employers and business partners. Companies are strongly encouraged to have HR document templates available, organised, and accessible to help streamline the inner workings of today’s challenging business landscape.

Work Policy Document

Important

These contain any rules or guidelines in a professional setting that define appropriate conduct or best practise. Work policies commonly address topics such as health and safety, peer or customer interactions and hiring. The policies that an employer puts in place tend to align with their organisational goals and the kind of workplace culture they wish to establish. They establish an organisation's norms and the expectations of the senior management.

The "Update from Template" feature

You can use Employment Hero templates when creating policies for your company in the Policy Management screen. When these templates get updated, the changes made to them do not automatically apply to the policies based on them.

To bridge this gap, we have introduced the Update from Template feature. It lets you update existing policies (that you created from our templates) into the most recent version of the templates they were based on.
