Policy Creation: 3 Steps! Policy creation

1. Get approval from upper management. In most cases, one cannot just implement a new policy on their own without approval from someone else unless that individual is the sole owner of the organization. 

2. Form a project team that have a direct connection with the new policy whether that be employees who will be affected, supervisors who are familiar with the policy or other managers across the organization. 

3. Easy to use and understand format. Clear and concise headings will allow for easy distribution of information with little to no confusion. 

1. Map Existing Process: Determine what new policies are needed, and which current policies need to be replaced. 

2. Written Fist Draft. 

3. Include visual aids to help those understand the policy better. 

4. Review from both inside and outside sources and approval. 

5. Validate the policy. Have employees test it out and observe what goes on. 

6. Final Approval. 

7. Celebrate! 

1. Distribute Policies: Give every single employee a copy of the policy. Have every employee sign the policy. 

2. Create a training plan: Online training is the cheapest and least time consuming. 

3. Establish a review cycle. Determine if revision to the policy is necessary every year or every few years.
