Set clear expectations on employment conditions, eliminate confusion and mitigate legal risk. Some ‘HR Basics’ you might need to implement are:

• employment contracts
• policies
• procedures
• workplace practices
• HR ‘gaps analysis’

Although documentation and communication of some HR ‘basics’, such as  policies, are a requirement by law, when written concisely and paired with well-understood procedures, these provide your business with the ability to ensure fairness and consistency.  More importantly, they enable your business to focus on operational performance and profitability, rather than being distracted with non-compliance and ambiguity.
