Speech on Staff Policies, Practices, and Procedures at PEPPS Good day, everyone, I'd like to take a few moments to outline some key staff policies, practices, and procedures that ensure our workplace remains professional, supportive, and productive. These policies reflect our commitment to providing an environment that values both excellence and care for our staff. Now I will not address everything in the triple p you will have to go back and look over them when you have a moment Employment Benefits At PEPPS, we believe in investing in our team. As part of our employment benefits: Pension Scheme: permanent Staff are automatically registered with the ISASA Pension Scheme. You contribute 7% monthly, and PEPPS contributes 12.05%.

Dress Code Our appearance reflects our professionalism and represents the PEPPS brand. Here are some key expectations: Dress smartly and professionally, more formal than casual. Ensure clothing is neat, clean, and appropriately fitted. Sports coaches should wear appropriate sports attire. Male staff members must wear a shirt with a collar, even when coaching sport. Denim is allowed if neat, but torn or faded denim is not permitted. Avoid revealing clothing, and ensure proper coverage with modest attire. Sports blue shirt is available at the uniform shop, the school does not provide you with a shirt, you will have to buy one. Grievance Policy Awareness form This form can be used to raise awareness to the HOD of things that staff are doing well. The the same form can also be used to highlight areas of concern. If the form is that of concern, it might be followed with a concern letter just to highlight areas where you can improve. The Grievance form is for matters where you feel this is beyond a concern and management needs to address this and have a structured and formal communication Every effort will therefore be made to resolve the grievance at the earliest stage and as quickly as possible These forms can be found on the drive. In closing, these policies and procedures are designed to foster a supportive and professional work environment. Let us all strive to uphold these standards, ensuring PEPPS remains a place where staff and students thrive together. Thank you.
