Journal: Indian Journal of HR Policies
Vol: 11
Year: 2010

Policy is a formal statement of a principle or a rule which all members of an


organization are bound to follow. Procedure tells the members of the organization how to
carry out or implement policy. So while policies are what are to be done by the members of the
organization, written in the form of statements or rules, procedures tell the members how to carry
out these policies, written in the form of instructions. It can be said that the HR department and
its policies and procedures are the real backbone and foundation of a company. HR team is
responsible for recruiting the right people in the company, and there after managing these people
and their needs, queries, and various problems.

Title: Indian Human Resource and Policies
Journal: Journal of Indian Essentiality on Policies
Vol: 07
Year: 2008

Certain people feel it is essential to have clear, written rules in every organization, while others
are more comfortable with having no set of rules. If we took the case of the latter, this would
mean having no discipline and no punishments for wrong behavior or action. On the other hand,
if an employer relies on a loose set of rules which have not been documented; it is easy for
people to assume these rules are open to interpretation. The result would be a working
environment which would be out of tune with the ultimate goal of the organization.

Every individual in an organization has their own set of principles, morals and ethics. Is it not
necessary that two people working under the same roof would share a set of values. But when
this set of people join together to work in a professional environment, and if they are each
allowed to exercise their perceptions of right and wrong behaviour, chaos would surely ensue. In
order to keep the workplace a professional and pleasant environment, certain set of rules or
policies and procedures are made.

or inappropriate behavior.
