-Obtaining stakeholders support is vital to ensure that stakeholders carry out the policies and
ensure adherence to the policies are not consulted prior to the implementation of the policy.
Once the policy has been drafted, it will be important to communicate for example meetings, e-
mails and teleconferences with managers and supervisors who will be expected to apply the
policy. This communication should include why the new policy (or revision) is needed, address
the impact the policy will have on the stakeholder's areas and address any potential thoughts
or concerns the stakeholders may have. Considerations from these meetings will lead to any
necessary revisions before legal counsel conducts its final policy review.
- Organizations should give employees background information when possible as to why the
policy is being implemented. Employees should be given enough details to make the
organization's position clear while keeping the communications process short and simple.
Employers can determine the best approach to introduce the policy to employees based on the
nature, sensitivity and ease in which the policy will be understood. Employers should
incorporate a communication method that will give employees an opportunity to ask questions
about the policy. The policy should consist of an acknowledgment statement indicating the
employee's receipt and understanding of the new policy along with the effective date of the
policy. The policy should contain space for the employee's signature and date. It should also be
added to the organization's employee handbook or intranet and included in new-hire
orientation programs as appropriate. Employers should notify employees where they can
access the policy later for instance links to intranet site, attachment of policy to print and add
to their employee handbook.
-it is important for organizations to ensure that customer service policies are placed into a
written document that employees follow when dealing with customers who are not satisfied
with company's products or services. It also lists that how employees should behave so as to
improve the overall experience for customers. Customer service policies also promote a good
working environment to do this, employers have to motivate staff so that they can provide a
good working environment for others and show that they are positive about the company
customer service and doing all of this will increase cost efficiency by rising customer.
-Competitor's policy refers to government policy to preserve or promote competition among
market players and to promote other government policies and processes that enable a
competitive environment to develop. Competition policy has two major instruments.
Competition policy seeks to encourage and improve the competitive process, and to ensure
consumers feel the benefits of that process. These aims are achieved in practice through
competition law.
-The supplier's policies are introduced by a organization, the code of conduct sets out the
minimum requirements regarding fair and safe labor and environmental practices that
manufacturers, suppliers, and other vendors must meet to sell goods to or do business with the
retailer.
