Hi..
I am new to this field. This is my first job and I am asked to develop an HR Manual for my company. I have already developed New Employee Handbook but now I dont know exactly where should I start from to develop the HR Manual. Kindly guide me and if possible provide me a sample HR Manual so that I can distinguish the language and content to be used in the Manual.
Regards
Mubashira


Hi Mubashira,
I'm also in the similar situation. I've been asked to find out about HR Manual and being new to this profession, I have no idea how to go about this.
Have you finally found or created a HR Manual?
Regards
Nimmi
