Dear All,
I am in search of corporate training consultancies or consultancies that conduct open-house workshops on policy-making guidelines. This training should help in understanding various methods of creating HR policies, standard templates to be used to create policies, ways of maintaining and updating policies, tone of policy, points to be covered, etc.
Can someone please let me know if there are such open-house workshops in Bangalore or any training firms that are good at delivering this kind of training?

Dear Shruthi,
Employee policies depend on the nature of the business, finished products, whether it operates in multiple countries, etc. There is no "one-size-fits-all" solution. You need to customize the policy as per your requirement. Many times policies flow from Directors' or owners' vision.
There are a few policies that need to be in the framework of the labor laws of the state in which you have offices. You could have confirmed whether you fall under the purview of the Factory Act or the Shops and Establishment Act. Your policies on leave, working hours, payment of wages, etc., should fall within the framework of these laws.
In addition to this, you can prepare Standing Orders and get them certified from the Labor Commissioner of your area. These approved standing orders will help you in handling matters related to employee discipline.
Next is the "Employee Handbook." If you make this, you can provide information on uniform, various welfare measures, town hall meetings, etc.
Since there is a lot of variation, a training program like "How to Make Company Policies?" cannot be made. You can look for a consultant rather than a trainer. It is better to hire a consultant from the city where you have an office.
Ok...

Thank you so much for your suggestions, sir.
We are in the process of fine-tuning existing policies like the leave policy, travel policy, policy for mentoring lunch, etc. Our consultant helped us by clearing our doubts on leave, holidays, and gratuity. As we are growing, we have now created a list of around ten different policies to be formulated. Examples include the Sexual Harassment policy, exit policy, guidelines for promotion, policy for Performance Improvement Plan, and referral policy. We have the data for all of these except for a couple of them. However, we feel that the documents we are trying to come up with have to be more polished in terms of nomenclature, flow of information, and tone of the message. For instance, do we use "should be" or "would be," "shall" or "will," should that carry the tone of the message from the second party? How do we handle content overlaps, when is the time to revisit the policy, and how to name versions, etc.
Sir, irrespective of the benefits that we gain by taking external help, wouldn't there be any basic level training that would help us in putting the content that we have together in a polished way? As you suggested, a consultant would probably help us solve every issue at hand. But since we have the data for most of it with us, we are hoping to take a first shot at it.
Looking forward to your inputs.
