Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a policy and a procedure?

A policy is a high-level statement of intent - what the organization does and why. A procedure is a specific set of steps for how to carry out a policy. Policies tell employees what's expected; procedures tell them how to do it.

What should a policy and procedure document include?

A complete document includes a title and number, purpose, scope, definitions, the policy statement, detailed procedures, roles and responsibilities, exceptions, references and a revision history. Visuals or videos make procedures easier to follow.

How do you write a policy and procedure?

Start with the business reason for the policy. Define the scope and audience. Write the policy statement clearly. Then document the procedures step-by-step, with roles, tools and quality checks. Have legal, HR or compliance review the draft. Train employees and track acknowledgments.

How often should policies and procedures be reviewed?

Review policies and procedures at least annually, or whenever there's a regulatory change, organizational shift, incident or audit finding. Outdated policies create legal risk, audit failures and confusion - keep them current.

What policies should every company have?

Most companies need: code of conduct, anti-harassment, attendance and leave, equal opportunity, IT security and acceptable use, data privacy, health and safety, and a disciplinary policy. Specific industries (healthcare, finance, manufacturing) require additional regulated policies.
