Comprehensive Employee Policy Review and Update

Our People and Culture team is responsible for maintaining a comprehensive portfolio of employee policies and guidelines that govern life at Riipen. Our intent (and obligation) is to comply with all applicable federal, state/provincial and local laws that currently exist as well as provide everyone at Riipen with a clear guide as to what is expected of them: Policies : the set of rules we all must abide by, no exceptions Guidelines : a set of ideals that we should all commit to trying to abide by wherever possible Some of these policies and guidelines outline Riipen's commitment to its employees (Parental Leave, Jury Duty, Electronic Monitoring), and some outline Riipen's expectations of its team members (Respectful Workplace, Co-Working, Gender Inclusion, Inclusive Language). These documents live in our Employee Handbook, which was first published in 2021. As we approach the 5 year mark, we want to undertake a more comprehensive review and update of our Handbook and the policies and guidelines it contains. The branding and style are out of date and need to be refreshed based on our new brand and style guide, but more importantly we want to assess usability, clarity, and compliance with HR best practice. We know our policies and guidelines are not as current, engaging, and clear as they could be, and we want this project to get us there. This project will give learners the opportunity to learn about the broad spectrum of policies and guidelines that employers must establish, refine, and communicate. They will learn how to balance law, regulation, and best practice with the unique needs of an organization and the culture it hopes to nurture. Learners will get a true HR generalist's view - they will be updating policies and guidelines on everything from Artificial Intelligence to Expenses. Creating and updating employee policies and guidelines to align to both company and industry practices is something most HR/P&C professionals have to do on a regular basis - this projects is one that we hope you can showcase to potential employers as evidence of your hands on experience as a P&C generalist!
