Creating Policies and Procedures

Readers frequently turn to policy and procedure documents to understand the internal processes of an organization or department. Yet, those same readers are frequently frustrated because the documents are so difficult to comprehend because of poor content, language, organization and layout.

In this interactive workshop, you will learn the fundamental factors of presenting a crystal clear message using a reader-friendly format to effectively write policies and procedures. You will receive a comprehensive manual with notes, samples and exercises designed to be a shelf reference. Some pre-course work will be required.

This training focuses on:

• understanding the difference between a policy and procedure
• assessing and determining the content required
• organizing for clarity and understanding
• writing in a plain language style and creating a reader focus
• formatting to make the policy or procedure document easy to read
• Focusing your leadership team on people

*This course is scheduled to run in person. Contact mail@qnet.ca if you are unable to attend the course in person; we will check to see if you can join the in-person course by zoom
