Abstract
Human resource policy is formal rules and guidelines used by businesses to hire, reward, train, and assess employees. A workforce policy manual is crucial to a company's operations. Communicating the company's policies keeps the employees well guided and informed. It protects the employees from unfair termination and the company of lawsuits that will adversely affect the image of the company. By uniformly and effectively implementing the human resource policy manual, there will be a productive, stable, and conducive working environment. Business owners who establish a comprehensive and sound rational resource management policy are better equipped to be successful over the long run than businesses that business owners who handle policy decisions as it arises. Failure to having a well-prepared plan leads to uninformed, inconsistent, and bad decisions that may destroy a business.

Having a dress code or standard for workplace clothing can add uniformity, impartiality, and a professional image; but on the other hand, companies could also be tip-toeing a dangerous line that may lead to discrimination and various lawsuits. If firms do elect to have a dress code, they should implement an appropriate dress code so that their customers, patients, or visitors can quickly identify staff members. As an additional note to the healthcare companies, employees should wear name tags as well as a particular uniform so that the practice has a specific look and feel that correlates with the industry (Carlson, Zivnuska, Harris, Harris, & Carlson, 2016).
Healthcare Professionals and White Coats. Those who work in the healthcare industry are more often be seen wearing white coats. Surgeons dating back into the nineteenth century were the first to dawn them as an aseptic method, with healthcare employees adopting the uniform later in the 1950s. For a small healthcare center, there may be less formality in having employees dawn white...
