Designing and Developing Policies for the Modern Workforce
A specialist health portfolio agency sought to revolutionise their HR framework, partnering with 1 and One to navigate this complex transformation. Their goal was to evolve beyond outdated policies into a contemporary suite that would enable flexible work arrangements, strengthen performance management, and prioritize staff wellbeing – all while maintaining strict legislative compliance.
Policy Architecture
We reviewed existing policies against best practice and legislative requirements, developing a modern framework that prioritises flexible work, performance management, and staff wellbeing. This included domestic violence support policies, streamlined recruitment processes, and comprehensive workplace health and safety guidelines.
Practical Implementation
The comprehensive implementation package included practical templates, step-by-step manager guides, visual decision aids, standardized forms, and assessment frameworks to ensure smooth adoption of the new policies.
Change Readiness
Clear staff guidance materials, comprehensive manager toolkits, targeted communication strategies, and evaluation frameworks were developed to support successful organisational change and policy adoption.
Outcome
The new framework delivered:
- Modern flexible work arrangements supporting work-life balance
- Clear performance management processes
- Streamlined recruitment and probation systems
- Enhanced staff wellbeing support
- Full compliance with legislative requirements
- Practical tools for day-to-day HR management
Transforming Workplace Culture
Deep understanding of modern HR requirements, paired with practical policy expertise, enabled the creation of an inclusive, contemporary workplace framework that serves all levels of the health organisation. This modernised approach not only meets current legislative standards but also fosters a more dynamic, supportive environment where staff can thrive, managers can lead effectively, and the organisation can adapt to evolving workplace needs.
