| + | A **Policy** is, simply, an official or prescribed plan or course of action. | ||
| + | |||
| + | A **Policy** itself provides no compliance and no enforcement. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Guidelines for making an effective **Policy** are as follows: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Policy** as far as possible should be in writing. | ||
| + | * They should be clearly understood by those who are supposed to implement them. | ||
| + | * They should reflect the objectives of the Organizational Entity. | ||
| + | * To ensure successful implementation of a **Policy**, the top managers and the subordinates who are supposed to implement them must participate in their formulation. | ||
| + | * Conditions change, and policies must also change accordingly. Hence, a **Policy** must strike a reasonable balance between stability and flexibility. | ||
| + | * Different policies in the Organizational Entity should not pull in different directions and should support one another. | ||
| + | * Policies should not be detrimental to the interests of society. | ||
| + | * Policies should be periodically reviewed in order to see whether they are to be modified, changed or completely abandoned. | ||
