The documents

Contracts, handbooks and proceduresthat hold up later.

Contracts, handbooks and procedures are live assignments, not a separate standard. They sit on the same book as a hire or a monthly payroll.

A document that cannot be explained later is not finished. The suite is written so issuance and later defence are the same act.

HR policy and handbook documentation at Eagle HR Consultants

Scope

The documents we write

The suite is recommended after the current file has been read. Not every organisation needs every document.

  1. 01

    Policy development

    HR policies written to Kenyan labour law and the way the organisation actually operates, so they can be issued and later explained.

    • Employment policies
    • Code of conduct
    • Disciplinary procedures
    • Leave policies
  2. 02

    Employee handbooks

    Handbooks that state culture, policy and procedure in language staff can use. Not a binder that sits in HR.

    • Culture and values
    • HR procedures
    • Benefits
    • Compliance notes
  3. 03

    Compliance documentation

    The papers statutory work requires: records, filings and the file that has to exist when audit asks.

    • Labour-law file
    • Statutory requirements
    • Audit papers
  4. 04

    HR forms and templates

    Standard instruments for recruitment, performance and the employee lifecycle, so process does not reset with each manager.

    • Recruitment forms
    • Performance reviews
    • Employee records
    • Exit procedures
Compliant enough to issue
Policies track Kenyan labour law closely enough that they can be handed to staff without a caveat on page one.
Clear enough to apply
Managers can use the document without calling HR for every case. Consistency is the point of writing it down.
Ready for audit
Working papers stay with the suite. When someone asks how the policy was reached, the file answers.

Method

How documentation is produced

Work is undertaken under a written proposal, following the sequence below.

  1. 01

    Read what exists

    Current policies, contracts and forms are reviewed against the statute and against how the organisation actually runs.

  2. 02

    Draft the suite

    Documents are written so they can be issued. Gaps are named. Nothing is copied in from a generic pack and left untested.

  3. 03

    Validate

    Management reviews the drafts. Feedback is documented. The same person carries it into the final versions.

  4. 04

    Issue and handover

    Final documents, a communication plan and working papers are handed over. Residual support is limited to the proposal.
