In every workplace there are always policies employees have to abide by. It is up to the company to make the policies clear and to inform employees of new or revised policy changes.
A policy cannot be written that will take precise account of all possible situations. Its provisions need to be general enough and clear enough to be applied to unanticipated circumstances.
A policy should tell the reader why it exists and to whom it applies, when and under what circumstances it applies, and its major conditions or restrictions. A policy should also make reference to any previous policies so as to establish the historical and legal context of the current policy.
• KIS: Keep it simple.
• You can keep the policy document simple by stating the principles underpinning the policy first. That way, you probably don’t have to go in to as much detail as the principles have been stated.
• Ensure that draft policies include a draft number and date, to allow ease of tracking.
• Endorsed policies should include a note as to who authorized the policy and when.
• Ensure that somebody in the organization is responsible for keeping ‘control copies’ of policies and the production of a policy manual, either on the organization’s intranet or in hard copy.
This really good. You came off clear and understandable. The only thing I see missing is your title. other than that, it was very pleasant to read because you kept it nice and short. Great job.
ReplyDeleteGoog job. Its short but informative. The title would have made a big difference. Dont forget to include your name and have a catchy title.
ReplyDeleteYour post has a lot of helpful information. I really like how you used bullets to write your main points. The bullet points really made it easier to read and helped break up your post into important points. I think the trouble with your title is that you posted it in the link box (which is right underneath the title box. Some advice I can give you regarding that is to make sure that you preview your blog before you post it. I do it everytime and it has definitely saved me from a few mistakes. Besides that you did a really good job getting your information across. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteWell by the time I got around to seeing this the title is fine. :) The content is useful and helpful, and the style is easy to read and professional. Great job, Esmeralda!
ReplyDeleteNice use of white space making it easy for your reader to get through. All it needs is more voice (more "I"). Tell your story of policy reading or writing.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with everyone's comments (despite the title being fixed by the time I saw it). The only other suggestion I have is to try and wrap up what you're saying at the end, as opposed to stopping immediately after stating an important point. Great content.
