Are you looking for Human Resources policy samples? Do you need sample checklists, procedures, forms, and examples of Human Resources and business tools to manage your workplace to create successful employees? These samples are provided for your personal use in your workplace, not for professional publications.

You may adapt these samples to your organization's needs.
These Sample HR Policies Provide a Guide
While every organization has different needs, different priorities, and different guidelines they need to guide employee behavior, these samples give you a base on which you can build the policies for your organization.
Take a look to see the recommended sample policies that don't sap employee spirits and steal their lives and private time. These policies, procedures, and checklists successfully recognize the limits of providing employees proper guidance for appropriate behavior at work and draw a line between that and employee lives outside of the workplace.
