Workplace Policies
Workplace Policies
Workplace policies are important because they help resolve issues in the workplace.
One on hand, they provide guidance and clarity to the employees on how the employer operates. For management, they provide consistency and efficiency in “how” it responds to various issues that arise.
Apart from consistency and efficiency, having clear workplace policies and guidelines can help the employer minimize the risk of lawsuits and quasi-criminal / regulatory proceedings.
