Policies

 

In the administration of business one of the most important tasks is to formulate policy; the work of planning and the determination of company objectives become effective when expressed in policy form.



A policy is a guide to the action or decisions of people. Policies are directives, issued from a higher authority, and provide a continuous framework for the conduct of individuals in a business – they are in effect a type of planning. Policies are expressions of a company’s official attitude towards types of behaviour within which it will permit, or desire, employees to act. They express the means by which the company’s agreed objectives are to be achieved and usually take the form of statements, telling members how they should act in specific circumstances. Policies reflect management thinking on basic matters and inform those interested in the activities of the company about the company’s intentions regarding them.
