Your policies, values statements, and other official documents form the basic operating rules and regulations governing your company's routine operation, but they are also among the most significant indicators of who you are and what you stand for as an organization.
In litigation or regulatory enforcement actions, your policies and procedures are your first line of defense and can protect your organization's assets and reputation. On the other hand, not having effective policies and procedures can be harmful or even fatal to your prospects for long-term success. It is therefore critical that your policies and procedures be well-drafted, clear, and easy for your employees to comply with, and that they send the right messages to potential and sometimes unexpected audiences.
Additionally, corporate policies must be integrated and work together to offer the organization the most efficient and effective protections. Creating clear, well-integrated, effective policies and procedures is significantly more involved than throwing some words on a page or posting them to a website. It requires the right skill, talent, and expertise.
