The Management Documents and HR Templates Library is a collection of practical resources designed to help HR professionals and managers deal with the situations that arise when managing employees. It brings together 467 resources covering guides, policies, letters, forms, contracts, scripts, plans and books, with the library organised into practical management toolkits.
The resources cover everything from managing absence and performance to disciplinary action, grievances, flexible working, employee communication, wellbeing and changes to employment arrangements. Each resource can be adapted to reflect the organisation's own policies, processes and circumstances.
The library is intended to provide a practical starting point whenever a manager or HR professional needs to manage an employee issue. Instead of creating a document from scratch, users can select the relevant guide, policy, letter, form or script and adapt it to the situation.
It can also help organisations create greater consistency in how managers approach common people-management situations, particularly where several managers are responsible for handling employee issues.
The library is suitable for HR managers, HR teams, business owners and line managers who need practical support with employee management. It is particularly useful for organisations where managers are expected to deal with people issues but do not have extensive HR expertise themselves.
Experienced HR professionals can also use the resources as a practical reference and drafting aid, particularly when dealing with an unfamiliar situation or when several documents are needed to support the same process.
Good people management often depends on what happens between formal HR processes. Managers need to know how to hold difficult conversations, address concerns, manage attendance, support performance and communicate changes appropriately.
The library therefore includes not only formal documents such as policies and letters, but also managers' guides, meeting scripts, checklists and plans. This provides practical support around the process as well as the paperwork.
The library contains 467 resources, including guides, policies, letters, forms, contracts, scripts, plans and books covering key employee-management situations such as performance, absence, discipline, grievances, flexible working and wellbeing.
