How to Ensure Effective Policy and Procedure Management? The worst thing a company can do is to put a bunch of Word documents in a software tool or on a shared drive and call itself protected.
If this is currently the scenario in your organization, perhaps it is time to evolve and partner with a policy and procedure management software that helps you automate the lifecycle of your documents while significantly reducing your operational costs (overhead and administrative). Your further need a solution where policies and procedures and other documents are organized and linked to the regulations that impact your business enabling you to provide real-time evidence of compliance for audits. Ignoring or mismanaging documents can cost your company money, clients, or might even result in you closing your doors for good.
Effective Risk Management. Many companies have some type of risk management program in place, but many still do not.
For those that do, the efficiency of the program is often challenging especially when it comes to one key driver of risk: regulations and standards. The more complex the business – legal jurisdictions, number of employees, number of departments, number of sites, number of lines of business, etc. – the more this challenge is exacerbated. Compounding this complexity is the fact that a single requirement within a regulation will be viewed from an impact and likelihood perspective differently by different departments or business units.
What is Effective Performance Management? Effective Performance management is much more than simply following regulatory requirements to annually rate employee’s performance.
It involves synergy at all organizational levels, in devising methods to plan, track, and review employees’ career goals, work objectives, and contributions to the company. Several different steps go into good performance management. An effective performance management is the systematic process of: Planning- setting goals and performance expectations for individuals and groups to direct their efforts toward achieving organizational goals.Monitoring Performance- continuously measuring performance and providing ongoing feedback to individuals and groups on their progress toward career goals, work objectives, and contributions to the company.Addressing the Development Needs- developing the capacity of employees to perform through training, giving assignments that introduce new skills or higher levels of responsibility, improving work processes, etc.
The man who made a million empires. What's Sid Meier really like?
Not many creators have the brazen audacity to slap their name in the actual titles of the things they create. John Lennon didn't call his 1971 album, "John Lennon's Imagine. " Mrs. Dalloway isn't called "Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway. " But a lot of Sid Meier's games flash the words "Sid Meier" right there in the title. I meet Meier in a Las Vegas hotel room and press reception area. "I guess I think of that Sid Meier as another person. " These days, Meier rarely gives interviews. In the interview, he seems wary and cautious. He lives in the town of Cockeysville, Maryland.
