How to write corporate rules and regulations

introduction

Some friends mentioned in the forum a few days ago how to write the topic of corporate rules and regulations. Zhou draws on the "legislative technology" in the practice of the establishment of corporate "regulations and regulations". This is an instructive experience. I don't know if it can be summarized and written out for everyone to share:-) However, from a more comprehensive From the standpoint, if the "regulations and regulations" are regarded as "laws" within the enterprise, this idea is limited. Below is a brief discussion.

From rules and regulations to archives

The term “regulatory system” itself has a narrow meaning. We consider from the perspective of the “archive” of the enterprise. The files in the enterprise include different types such as programmatic, binding, and technical. Compared with the “law,” only the “prescriptive” in the file of the enterprise. The part is more similar, and there are more referrals in formulating methods, such as attendance system, dress code, etc. This part is also most suitable for being called "regulations". A larger number of internal corporate files, such as business processes, work method guidelines, operating methods and standards, various technical files, standards or specifications, etc., are not suitable for generalization with the term “regulations and regulations”.

Formulating corporate files and legislation

Apart from the few "regulations" part, the company's files are formulated by specialized departments, which in itself may lead to the most common problem, that is, "the book is out of touch with the reality." A good idea for this problem is to implement it as much as possible or directly participate in the compilation, rather than separating the legislation and law enforcement as in the case of "law."
Basically, I regard most of the enterprise “archives” as the summary and answer of what the manager should do and how to do it, rather than a group of “just say no” people who take the legislative position. Internal law." The process of formulating the internal archives of an enterprise is to explore and summarize the process of how the enterprise is managed, how to operate it, etc. It is only a special link in this process, and this is a rolling, endless process.
The company's archives, a certain meaning is to do "change", this may not be the same as the "law", I wonder if everyone has experienced the meaning of the shackles?

a farther topic

This can lead to a series of very deep topics, such as the comparison between the "democratic system" of society and the corporate system. For another example, can we use the spirit and method of "democracy" to formulate a "distribution system" for a company? . There are many interesting topics in this regard, but it will inevitably be contaminated with some "political" colors. I would rather discuss more practical issues.

Real topic

How much is best written? This is a basic problem that all those who seriously "write" the internal archives of the enterprise, especially those who manage the archives, have the most arguments. If you write too finely, it may become a literary festival, but it is too simple, and it may lead to public reasoning, and the woman is reasonable. For managers, it is necessary to grasp a moderate degree on this issue. One of the basic principles is It depends on the quality of the relevant employees, or the sentence:
For high-quality people, give less rules and more principles. On the contrary, for low-quality people, give more rules and less principles.

Good and bad

What kind of "regulations" are good, what kind of bad? Discussing this issue cannot leave the performance of the company itself in the market. From the perspective of learning, it may be worthwhile to change the way of thinking. It is not to ask which companies have good experience and effects in this respect, but to find and study those companies that perform well in the market and see how they use the “regulations”. ?

From a partial, technical point of view, the basic measure of the file "good or bad" depends mainly on the effect and extent of its execution. If the post-implementation effect is included in the overall management performance/performance evaluation, then under such a premise, “the degree of execution – the degree of compliance with the actual operation” is an important Used to measure the hard index of the file. In my experience and understanding, this is a very real, operative approach, and a practical and effective method in business practice.
This set of methods and ideas is fully embodied in iso9000.

How to write well

The company's archives are indeed technical and technical, and worthy of summing up. I have not seen a systematic and in-depth summary so far. But the real key to the problem is always on the basic and eternal "management" issues of "what to do, how to do it". All the books on corporate management can be said to explore this issue from different angles. It is also constantly exploring and answering this question in practice. The performance of the company is real, and the final evaluation criteria, the technology of archive compilation, will never answer this most basic problem.
