ARMA workshop "Writing Effective Administrative Policies"
Every organization needs administrative policies-e.g., HR, IT, Security, Finance-that govern employee behaviour. Too often, though, these policies are so long and confusing that no one reads them, and they may be written in a way that sounds like angry parents yelling at naughty children.
Getting compliance with your policies and directives under these conditions is an uphill battle. The challenge is especially acute for subject matter experts who have never been formally trained in policy writing. In this workshop, you will learn the secrets behind making your policy instruments clear, succinct, and respectful, so that they invite compliance rather than impede it. The Perfect Policies approach has been adopted by policy groups in organizations such as the RCMP, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, and the Ontario Ministry of Archives.
Time: 9:00am - 12:30pm
Workshop registration: min 8; max 24
Registration fee: $250.00 members; $300.00 non-members
