The decision depends on the financial stability of the company, the obligations imposed upon it by legislation, the agreement between employers and employees. The executive role is that of mediating, persuading, convincing, and communicating the policy.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"no-indent\">The HR policies should be made known to the employees through the supervisors at each level.

Principles<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"no-indent\" style=\"text-align: justify\">Policies are guidelines for managerial decisions and actions. They vary from organisation to organisation. Principles are the universal truths generally applicable to all organizations. Principles guide managers in formulating policies, programs, procedures and practices. Some of the Principles are as follows:<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"no-indent\" style=\"text-align: center\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-240\" src=\"http:\/\/mgmtp01.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/66\/2018\/10\/7-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"628\" height=\"373\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"no-indent\" style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><sub>Figure2: Depicting Principles<\/sub><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: left\">Principle of individual development.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: left\">Principle of scientific selection.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: left\">Principle of fair remuneration.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: left\">Principle of labour management.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: left\">Principle of dignity of labour.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: left\">Principle of contribution to national prosperity.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: left\">Principle of participation.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: left\">Principle of communication.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: left\">Principle of team spirit.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: left\">Principle of incentive<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p class=\"no-indent\"><strong>9. Procedures<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"no-indent\" style=\"text-align: justify\">For the accomplishment of the HR policies specific procedures and programs are needed.While a policy indicates What and Why, procedures indicate How, a policy is to be carried out. It tells us the methods, procedures, movements, rules and regulations of carrying out these policies and implementing them. It tells us where an action is to take place and at what stage.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"no-indent\" style=\"text-align: center\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-241\" src=\"http:\/\/mgmtp01.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/66\/2018\/10\/8-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"328\" height=\"322\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"no-indent\" style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><sub>Source:https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQCU0R2k08MB7A5suB- VAYQaK5TuJyFvnv2CkE2H9IC38TGt9G2wQ<\/sub><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>\r\n<p class=\"no-indent\">\u00a0They are set up by Top management and followed or carried out by low level managers.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n \t<li>\r\n<p class=\"no-indent\">They help in controlling the staff as they assign obligations on them for the performance of various tasks.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n \t<li>\r\n<p class=\"no-indent\">They are reviewed from time to time so that the areas of slackness and the requisite changes can be done.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p class=\"no-indent\"><strong>10. Programs<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"no-indent\" style=\"text-align: justify\">While the procedures tell us <strong>How<\/strong> the work is to be done. Programs tell <strong>What<\/strong> work is to be done. It is a plan of action controlling employees at all levels. It is the end product of philosophy, values, concepts, principles, policies and procedures. Practices and procedures can be combined in a program. Some specific programs and procedures are:<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"no-indent\" style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Human resource forecasting and planning.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"no-indent\" style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Training and development of employees.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"no-indent\" style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Management development programs.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"no-indent\" style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Wage and salary administration.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"no-indent\" style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Employee benefits and services.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"no-indent\" style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Employment and related facts.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"no-indent\" style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Communication.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"no-indent\" style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Labour relations.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"no-indent\"><strong>11. Summary<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"no-indent\" style=\"text-align: justify\">Policies are guidelines that provide an organisation with a mechanism to manage risk by staying up to date with current trends in employment standards and legislation. They vary from organisation to organisation. Sound policies help in clarifying interpersonal, intrapersonal and intergroup conflicts. The actual formulation of HR policies is the responsibility of the HR manager, but its actual approval or any change in it comes from the top management<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"no-indent\" style=\"text-align: justify\">For the accomplishment of policies there are principles, programs, procedures and practices. Principles guide managers in formulating policies, programs, procedures and practices. Procedures tell us how the work is to be done. Programs are a stable plan of action that continues over a longer period of time.<\/p>\r\n<table>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>you can view video on Human Resource Policy<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/mUBgXs_uWOI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-120\" src=\"http:\/\/epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/download.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"36\" height=\"36\" \/><\/a><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<p class=\"no-indent\"><strong>Books and References<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"no-indent\">\u2022 Jyothi, Venkatesh.
