Should Pierre and Jennifer put a "respectful workplace policy" in place? If so, develop a draft of this type of policy using the web resottrces listed throughout this chapter.

One of the problems that Jennifer and Pierre are facing at LearnlnMotion.com concerns the inadequacies of the firm's current human resources management practices and procedures. The previous year had been a swirl of activity-creating and testing the business model, launching the site, writing and rewriting the business plan, and finally getting venture funding.
And it would be accurate to say that in all that time, they put absolutely no time into employee manuals, HR policies, or other HR-related matters. Even the 25-page business plan has no information in this regard. The plan provided considerable detail regarding budgetary projections, competition, market growth, and business strategy. However, it was silent when it came to HR except for containing short bios of the current employees and projections of the types of positions that \.vould have to be staffed in the first two years.
