HR Policy Development on Employment for an Institution for Higher Education in Quezon City

Abstract

This institution for higher education in Quezon City was established in 2002 and has 608 employees in total. At present, the school has approximately 22,000 enrollees, all of which are scholars of the foundation paying only the miscellaneous fees. The researchers believe that recognition and commendation to recognize outstanding employees and motivate and enhance employee performance will benefit the school. The researchers administered a questionnaire to the Human Resource Assistant Manager. The school’s manual was also used as a basis for identifying current policies of the institution and was compared to existing company policies from the same industry sourced online. Department of Labor and Employment Laws were also compared to identify areas of possible enhancement. The researchers then proposed a developed Annual Employee Recognition program for both academic and non-academic personnel, a monthly commendation for perfect attendance, an enhancement of the Re-Employment Policy to give guidelines for re-employing a former employee. Seasonal Employment, Lactation Policy, Enhancement of Dental Health Services and Stress Management Program were also proposed. These proposed policies, recognitions and enhancements may benefit both employees and school in terms of retention and improving the well-being of its employees.
