HR Policy Development on Human Resource Management Strategies for an Institution for Higher Education in Quezon City

Abstract

This institution for higher education is a non-stock, non-profit and non-sectarian institute was founded on June 2002 in Quezon City. It has full time and part time employees for both teaching and non-teaching employees totalling to 608 employees. The institution has three campuses, of which two are located in Quezon City and one in Bulacan. The researchers strongly believe that to support the institution‘s growth, it needs to develop its policies and programs. The researchers visited the Human Resource Department of the school and conducted interviews in order to gather data. The researchers looked into the institution’s employee manual. The researchers found that the current policies of the school in ethics/standard of conduct are: nature and organization, attendance, under-time, clock-in and out, wearing of uniform and id card, use of telephone, proper conduct and industriousness, faculty standards, and class rules and regulations. Also, its’ standard of conduct clarifies the standard of behavior expected from the employees in the performance of their duties. The Human Resource Information System, at the same time, contains a data base of employee information. The researchers proposed an anti-bullying policy, Anti-Sexual Harassment Policy, No Gift Policy, Data Privacy Policy and a Records Management System. The researchers aim to help the institution to build a strong and good relationship between the employees and the institution by proposing policies in Ethics/Standards of Conduct and Human Information System.
