Work Civilization Series : Written Law (part 5)

Every civilization will naturally include written laws or procedures. Your first form of written law should be a comprehensive business plan. All the procedures in your company’s plan should be extensions of your company’s vision and mapped out in strategies from which all initiatives derive.

Job descriptions, employee handbooks, learning programs, quality control programs, safety manuals, and contracts are other forms of written law within your civilization. These define the guidelines within which you expect your employees to conduct their job duties. How you write and implement these laws can have tremendous impact on how your people interpret the vision of your company, as well as give them a feeling of how much value you place on them personally.
