Robust policies and procedures serve as a foundation of operational integrity, guiding teams, ensuring compliance, and cultivating a culture of consistency and accountability. The right policies and procedures can guide both employers and employees in operations, as well as dispute resolution.
Importantly, having effective policies and procedures in place can safeguard an employer and help to avoid legal issues and liabilities. They also promote the management and minimisation of risks related to safety, security, compliance and confidentiality.
At Featherstone & Associates, we assist small businesses and emerging entrepreneurs with comprehensive reviews of policies and procedures, as well as customised drafting tailored to the business' needs.
Our Approach
Comprehensive Review and Analysis
We provide a fixed-fee service for comprehensive review of policies and procedures. We analyse the current framework and legislative requirements in relation to the same, and identify gaps and areas that require fortification or realignment with evolving business goals and regulations.
Customised Drafting
No two businesses are identical. Understanding this, we offer bespoke policy and procedure drafting, ensuring that each guideline, protocol, and directive resonates with your business's specific nature, goals, and challenges, as well as relevant legislative requirements. Our customised policies and procedures will be user-friendly and tailored to your specific business requirements.
Training
For policies and procedures to be effective, they must be understood and embraced by the workforce. We assist in rolling out new or updated guidelines, offering training sessions and workshops to ensure comprehensive internal alignment.
Periodic Review & Update Services
The business and regulatory landscapes are constantly changing. Recognising this, we offer periodic review services, ensuring that your policies and procedures remain relevant, effective, and in sync with the changing tides of business and regulation. You can focus on the business, whilst we focus on ensuring your policies and procedures remain current.
Policies & Procedures Fees
We offer a fixed fee for most of the services outlined above in relation to policies and procedures. Training is priced according to the number of participants and location.
