Policies in organizations provide a guideline and a rule book for people to operate in line with the company expectations. The main purpose of policies are:
- Inform employees about acceptable and unacceptable behaviors and actions, thus paving way for accountability and fostering the desired working environment.
- Provide legal and compliance cover for the organization in case of grievances or legal actions, as well as conformance with regulatory requirements in various geographies
It is common for some organizations to have insufficient policies (sometimes none!), while other organizations have too many policies. Even more challenging, sometimes policies are conflicting, too restrictive choking productivity and efficiency, or too vague policies that are not clear enough for employees to understand or follow.
