Your HR manager, without the payroll cost.
Running a business means juggling people, policies, and problems you didn’t plan for.
One tricky HR issue can eat hours of your time and cause sleepless nights.

No call centres. No waiting in line. Just real support from someone who gets it.
One of the most significant advantages
of partnering with My HR Partner is the

You’ll have ongoing access to:
Up to 4 hours of tailored HR support each month — by phone or email, whenever you need it.
A dedicated HR partner who responds quickly and proactively helps you avoid issues before they escalate or deal with them quickly

Templates, checklists and resources to keep you compliant and consistent.
Full access to the My HR Partner HR Hub — your online library of tools, videos, webinars, and Q&A sessions.

An HR code of conduct is an essential document for all Australian businesses. The purpose of a code of conduct is to outline the ethical and professional standards of behaviour that are expected of employees. Essentially, it sets out the “rules” of the business and its culture, while promoting a safe and respectful working environment. Every code of conduct can be individual and reflects the particular workplace and the expectations.
A Code of Conduct provides a comprehensive framework that guides employers, employees and contractors in their interactions with colleagues, management, customers/clients and external stakeholders. If an organisation has volunteers it will also apply to volunteers.
The Code of Conduct helps all parties to understand the importance of maintaining integrity, fairness and respect in all activities in the business.
Think of your Code of Conduct as more than just a rulebook—it's the blueprint for your culture. It addresses potential HR hurdles by:
Keeping you safe: Protecting the business and the team by ensuring you comply with all relevant legislation.
Living your values: clearly articulating the "why" behind what you do and the values and principles that drive your success.
Setting the standard: Giving employees a clear compass for how to act and interact within the workplace.
Empowering action: Offering a clear framework to address and rectify negative or unacceptable behaviours if things go off track.
For HR purposes, a code of conduct should include a summary of HR policies that that affect your business and can be expanded on in more detailed HR policies. Topics may include:
Discrimination & EEO
Harassment and bullying
Diversity and inclusion
Attendance
Communication
Confidentiality and privacy
Conflict of interest
Conflict resolution
Dress code/uniform
Use of company property
Leave policies
Use of company vehicles
Use of technology
Professional development
Appropriate behaviour and the values of the business
Legislation that applies to employees and the business
Drugs and alcohol
Your organisation’s code of conduct should be written in everyday language, with clear instructions on the behaviour expected of employees in the workplace. In essence, it must outline exactly what employees can and can't do.
A code of conduct document needs to be written so it’s not subject to misinterpretation.
We can help you by providing a Code of Conduct and other HR policies to ensure all potential problems are covered by your code of conduct.
Most importantly, the purpose of your code of conduct is to encourage and maintain appropriate workplace conduct.
This vital document can be used as a point of reference when you are dealing with issues related to breaches of your policies and the behaviour expected of an employee.
Having a Code of Conduct in place can certainly assist in avoiding any escalating issues with an employee, which can be stressful and expensive.
