Abstract: The need for effective workplace policies and procedures has never been more important in today’s changing workplace. This is driven by changes to legislation, regulation and codes. Organizations policies must be in line with the national laws, procedures and policies, and since nations subscribe to various international laws and guidelines, these should accordingly be integrated in organization policies. Through a review of existing literature, this study examines important legislations that address gender issues at the work place with an aim of informing Human Resource Managers charged with the responsibility of managing a diverse workforce. It argues that an understanding of the existing as well as changing patterns of national and international gender framework forms a strong foundation for an all inclusive and gender sensitive organization.
