Do You Have Beautiful Policies?
Nov 24

Have nothing in your house that
you do not know to be useful,
or believe to be beautiful.
- William Morris
The words of William Morris work well for HR policies. That means taking a long, hard look at what you do and asking why. Would you be proud to talk about your policies — all of them — in front of your grandmother? If not, keep what’s beautiful and useful, and discard the rest.
*********************
Some questions come to mind:
- Could you imagine a competition for the best policies?
- Have you ever seen anyone present “the coolest new trends in HR policies” at SHRM, WorldatWork, NASPP or any other conference?
- Why don’t we have a job that’s the Interior Designer for HR Policies? Most policies, I’m afraid, are written by amateurs.
