The employee policy manual

A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Masters Degree in Management from the NOVA – School of Business and Economics

The purpose of this Work Project was to develop the Employee Policy Manual for the Canadian company Jones DesLauriers Insurance Management Inc. (JDIMI), in the context of an internship. I was assigned to do this project under the supervision of the HR Generalist. To create the handbook, I had to not only research and understand company policies and procedures, but also corporate culture and major strategic goals. I also used theoretical frameworks, such as contingency theory and human capital theory, to support my propositions. The Employee Policy Manual is provided in the Appendix on a CD, since it is quite an extensive and comprehensive document. In the main text of the Work Project, a literature review and a brief description of the main components of the Employee Policy Manual are provided.
