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?

  • I think resistance I've noticed in other organisations I've worked in is often where the introduction of policies and procedures is done rather than deal with one individual who has pushed a commonly agreed boundary. It can result from a manager not feeling confident enough to deal with a situation directly, so preferring an indirect route - and probably indicates a need for management training rather than a new company document.
