Our good practice service provides expert guidance on HR and people management.
Good practice guides
Our good practice guides go beyond the letter of the law to provide clear, simply written guidance on good practice in HR and people management.
They examine and explain the progressive people-management policies and practices used by high-performing organisations to engage their people, deliver business objectives and outperform the competition.
The lay-out and organisation of the individual guides is based on our popular employment law reference manual. Each guide forms a condensed text book in its own right, with a summary, practical examples, top tips and recommendations.
We will be adding new guides on a range of topics and welcome your feedback along with suggestions for further guides. Please email the editorial team.
