Having a set of corporate policies and procedures in place is important to any organisation, regardless of size.
Having written policies in place helps:
- Provide a roadmap for day-to-day operations and matters in the workplace.
- Ensure that the company is compliant with employment laws and regulations from time to time.
- Managers feel confident about the next steps when if they manage a team. Clear and helpful policies help to ensure all line managers act in the same way, in line with streamlined internal processes.
- Assist in clarifying and reinforcing standards expected of employees in all their professional dealings and explains what is and is not acceptable in the workplace.
- Ensure consistency and reduce the risk of employees claiming they've been treated inequitably or that they have been discriminated against.
