Five Tips For Writing Company Policies

Keep these five tips in mind when you craft your next company policy:

Keep the policy short and simple.
Get rid of two old policies for every new policy you implement.
Make sure that your organization's policy and procedures are written to serve your employees and customers--not just your organization.
Don't write a policy in reaction to a single incident. The problem may never arise again.
Don't write a policy longer than one-page, no matter how large your organization may be.
