HR policies, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and employee handbooks are essential tools for managing people, ensuring compliance, and maintaining consistency within an organization. While policies outline the “what”—the rules and
expectations—SOPs define the “how”—the step-by-step processes to implement them. The employee handbook serves as a
reference for employees, helping them understand their rights, responsibilities, and the organizational culture.
In Malaysia, aligning HR documentation with the Employment Act 1955, Industrial Relations Act 1967, and other labor laws is
crucial to avoid legal pitfalls and foster a compliant, transparent workplace. This program equips HR professionals with the
knowledge and practical skills to develop, implement, and update HR policies, SOPs, and handbooks that meet legal standards
while supporting organizational goals.
