What is an organizational policy?

Organizational policies often reinforce and clarify the standard operating procedure in a workplace. An organizational policy will help the management to manage employers more effectively by defining acceptable and unacceptable behavior in the workplace. An organizational policy will help to build a broad guideline on action to be taken to achieve that purpose.

What are the benefits of having an organizational policy?

• Develop employer’s knowledge skills about what is expected of them
• Provide rules and guidelines for decision-making in routine situations
• Able to develop a consistent and clear response on dealing with situations
• Help the employers to be treated fairly and equally
• Help to overcome complaints and misunderstandings
• Provide a clear framework for the delegation of decision-making

How to develop and introduce organizational policies to an employee?

Step 1: Management Support

Management support to an organizational policy is very important and can be achieved by actively

seeking employees feedbacks.

Step 2: Consult with staff

Staff involvement is very important in developing and implementing this organizational policy and

helps to determine how mighty this works on the organization.

Step 3: Define the terms of the policy

The policy should explain what are acceptable and unacceptable behaviours in the workplace.

Step 5: Training and regular referral

The organizational policy may be explained to staff through information and training sessions during

staff meetings

Step 6: Implementation

This organizational policy must be implemented consistently according to the procedures.

Step 7:  Evaluate and review

Every 6 months or 12 months the organization policy must be reviewed and evaluated to ensure

that it is in line with any changes.
