There
are two important ways to avoid policy-making pitfalls.
Involve your team as much as possible. When
they are involved in the process and have input, they are much more likely
to abide by the policies. This does not mean
anarchy. It simply means you will have to be
creative in finding ways (meetings, suggestion boxes, informal lunches) for
them to contribute and provide feedback.
Make sure there is a sound business
justification for a policy. When a person
understands why something is the way it is, s/he
is much more likely to accept it.
Your
policies and rules are a means to achieving your vision.
They should reflect your business’ core values.
Regularly reviewing your policies should be a part of your routine.
