Summarize the following:
Once you have considered different possible issues you want your policies to address, come up with categories for them. For example, you might use categories like safety, scheduling, conduct, pay, benefits, vacation or leave, and discrimination. When it comes time to compile a manual, having policies already separated into categories will help you organize the manual and keep these sections together. It will also help you decide what is most important, and be able to address those things in more detail. Outlines allow you to explore deeper aspects of each policy or category, adding in stipulations and specifics as you go. Use numbers to order each section or category. Start with a brief, shorthand outline. Later, once you've gone through once and written down all your initial ideas, you can go back through and lengthen the sections accordingly. Policies allow your business to function properly while holding employees and management to certain standards. They also will serve as a written document that outlines how to handle things when the policy is disrupted or broken. This is especially important when and if any action needs to be taken following the disruption. Policies, when written in a formal document, can outline any legal rights and obligations of your employees and of the company. In the US, this includes information regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act, taxes, and laws that prohibit discrimination and harassment in the workplace. Make sure you include information on applicable federal and state laws when crafting your policies. Should you ever have to fire an employee for breaking policies, the written policies themselves will serve as evidence if that employee argues they were terminated unfairly. Make sure you have a section in your policies regarding what will constitute termination. You should also have policies regarding hiring. For example, you might require background checks prior to employment, or a probationary period after hiring before employment becomes permanent. Make sure you outline and set these terms clearly. Make sure you write all policies clearly and in such a way that could not be misunderstood or misconstrued. If there are other interpretations of the policy, consider rewriting it. For example, instead of saying something like "Some circumstances may allow for extra sick days," you might say something like "Extra sick days can only be approved at the explicit consent of the manager on duty."

summary: Make a list of policy categories. Use an outline format to detail different policies under each category. Come up with appropriate consequences for breaking policy. Have clear policies regarding termination. Use clear, active language.

Summarize the following:
If you're blogging about sports, you have some flexibility in terms of subject matter. You may want to write about the sport itself, covering an entire league or even multiple leagues. You may want to focus on a sport's conference, an individual team, all the teams in a given city, or even an individual player. Unless you're extremely knowledgable about a sport and follow the entire league's play closely, it may be easiest to focus on an individual team or player (especially if this is your first blog). Once you've been following a team or teams to report on long enough to get some material, you'll want to find some kind of niche within sports blogging. There are countless sports blogs on the internet, and many of them are written by knowledgable, passionate sports fans. So what will set your blog apart from the rest and make people want to follow your posts? Some bloggers focus on subjects that sports fans are interested in across all teams and regions, such as collective bargaining agreements or other financial aspects of sports. Whatever niche you choose, it's important to find a subject that you have some kind of special knowledge or authority on, as this will help establish your blog much more quickly. Think about whether any aspect of your education, work experience, or life experience qualifies you to become an expert on a certain area of sports reportage. This can help you find your focus and may help you gain popularity more quickly. Depending on the platform you've chosen, you may have limitations with regards to how much you can customize your blog. But it's a good idea to make your page as unique as possible. Creating a logo, customizing the layout of your blog page, and adding colorful photos help set your blog apart from other sports blogs on the internet, which is important in getting your page off the ground. Having a meticulously-customized blog page might also help inspire you to be more active in writing posts and maintaining the page. Try looking at some successful sports blogs for inspiration and ideas about what kind of customization is possible. You can even search for "sports blog design" in an online search engine to find some striking and successful examples.
summary: Follow a sport or team closely. Find some kind of niche. Customize your blog as much as possible.
