Sample policies that hold up to real life
Editable policy samples written by practitioners, reviewed for accessibility and clarity, and built to be adapted for your jurisdiction, your sector, and your culture.
What this is
Policy work is hard. Starting from zero is harder.
Most policy templates online are either lawyer prose, designed for one country, or written for an audience that never has to live by them.
The Belonging Works policy library starts from the questions a working HR or DEIA lead actually faces: What does this look like for a frontline employee? What does it look like for a manager who reads it once, six months from now, the day they need it? What does it look like for legal, and what does legal still need to add?
Use these samples as a starting point. Run them through your own counsel and your own employee voice. Nothing here is legal advice. Everything here is meant to make the next conversation easier.
