# monitor company policy — HR Manager

As an HR Manager, 'monitoring company policy' isn’t just about *knowing* what the policies are – it’s actively ensuring they’re being followed *and* remain effective. Daily this looks like reviewing employee relations cases (investigations, grievances) to spot patterns of potential non-compliance or areas where a policy is causing unintended issues. You'll be auditing HR processes like performance reviews and terminations against documented procedures, checking for consistent application. Tools include case management systems, internal audit reports, and even simple spreadsheet tracking of policy-related questions received by the HR team.

A big pitfall is letting policies become ‘shelfware’ – written but ignored. This happens when policies aren't regularly communicated or updated to reflect legal changes (like new data privacy regulations) or evolving business needs. Another is failing to identify *systemic* issues; a single instance of policy violation might be an individual error, but repeated occurrences signal a problem with the policy itself or how it’s being implemented. Proposing improvements isn't just suggesting tweaks – it means presenting data-backed recommendations for revisions, new policies, or better training.

Good looks like proactively identifying risks *before* they become legal issues or damage employee morale. It means having a clear process for policy updates (including stakeholder input), and demonstrating that HR is the central point of knowledge on all company rules. Think regular ‘pulse checks’ with managers to gauge their understanding and application of policies, and using exit interviews to gather feedback on perceived fairness and clarity.

Ultimately, effective monitoring isn't punitive; it's about continuous improvement. It demonstrates HR’s role as a strategic partner in risk management *and* fostering a fair, compliant, and productive work environment. You aren't just enforcing rules, you are ensuring the company operates ethically and legally while supporting its employees.
