Policies and procedures
Policies are formal guidelines or rules established by an organization to direct decision-making and ensure consistent behavior across the organization. They outline the organization’s stance on specific issues, set standards, and provide a framework for action. Policies are typically broad, strategic, and designed to align with organizational goals, legal requirements, and ethical standards.

Procedures are operational in nature and often include timelines, responsibilities, and specific methods or tools to be used.

Key Differences:
- Policies answer the “what” and “why” — what the organization stands for and why certain rules are in place.
- Procedures answer the “how” — how tasks should be carried out to comply with policies.
Importance of Policies and Procedures:
- Promote consistency and fairness
- Ensure compliance with laws and regulations
- Clarify expectations and responsibilities
- Improve efficiency and accountability
- Provide a basis for training and onboarding
