Policies and procedures go hand-in-hand but are not interchangeable. A policy is a set of general guidelines that outline the organization’s plan for tackling an issue. A procedure explains a specific action plan for carrying out a policy. Procedures tells employees how to deal with a situation and when. Human resource policies are formal rules and guidelines that businesses put in place to manage their employees. HR procedures, on the other hand, are step-by-step instructions that specify what actions should be taken to comply with these policies.
