Developing Organisational Policy
Policies are the strategic link between the company’s vision and its day-to-day operations. They provide a guide to achieving business strategies and objectives. They allow employees to understand their roles and responsibilities within predefined limits and allow management to guide operations without constant management intervention. This programme will enable participants to fully understand the process of policy development and provide skills to manage it. They will learn to identify the right policy developers and the best champions for the policy. Finally, they will be trained on how to measure the performance of policies and evaluate the extent to which they are fulfilling their purpose.
