Federally Regulated PolicyPro® From Policy to Signoff ™

Com·pli·ance
And best practices
For HR professionals, policy managers, consultants, business owners and non-profit executives and directors at Canadian federally regulated organizations.
Over the last few years there have been sweeping changes to the Canada Labour Code that impact federally regulated organizations. It is more important than ever for employers to have up to date HR policies and procedures. When there is a claim, courts carefully review HR policies to determine if management has met their duty of care. This is a key factor in deciding if the employer acted reasonably and has a defence.
But policies have benefits far beyond minimizing risk.
Strong policies and procedures are fundamental to the success of any organization.
Documented human resources policies and procedures are essential to:
- Provide managers with a consistent, fair and efficient approach to employment matters
- Communicate up-to-date information to staff related to specific recurring questions
- Establish roles and responsibilities and provide guidance for resolving conflicts
- Demonstrate compliance in the event of a legal claim or investigation
- Effectively onboard new staff and contractors
When you have a written HR policy and procedure manual that meets current legal and best practice requirements, you save time, improve productivity and minimize liability so you can focus on the more important things: strategic planning, supporting business growth, building workplace culture, making sure you have the best people in the right roles, and all the other essential HR tasks.
Federally Regulated PolicyPro (FRPP) is the only source for up-to-date model policies and commentary based on Canadian compliance and best practice for federally regulated organizations.
