Best reason(s) for having policies?

Anka

I wondered if any of the forumites had encountered aversion/resistance to introducing policies and procedures and, if so, what arguments you used to overcome this resistance?  What were the killer arguments in favour that won people over?

    There seems to be a predisposition / assumption here that policies and procedures are always 'a good thing' - IMHO they are not necessarily anything like a good thing: of course they're necessary for such as disciplinary or grievance or capability or absence but personally abhor the approach that procedures are necessary for just about every HR event - IMHO they can be totally inappropriate and unhelpful.
