Adapt policies and procedures for your organisation

unlimited access for BKG members

 

Policies and procedures set out how things work in an organisation, and they provide a framework for staff and managers on how to deal with specific issues.  They are an important part of the management of organisations, but are often missing from small and medium sized businesses.

Over the last few years, we have been collecting examples of policies and procedures in place in a wide variety of organisations – both public and private sector.  We have worked our way through each, taking out references to specific processes and systems and making them as generic as possible (whilst retaining a sense of organisation). 

Through the BKG Policy Bank, our members can get access to a range of documents in Word format.  Each is intended to act as a ‘starter policy’, which our members can adapt for implementation in their own organisation.  Each document can be implemented in its current form and be very effective, but we believe that organisations should adapt and change procedures according to their own needs.  Our intention is to review our current collection from time to time so that they remain as up to date as possible.  We will also continue to collect new examples and add them to the Bank – so that more are available to our members.  Our team can also advise our members on the best ways to adapt and implement new policies and procedures.

The BKG Policy Bank is ideal for any small or new organisation looking to put in place its own systems, and wanting to do so efficiently and effectively with as little hassle as possible.  It is also useful for more established organisations looking to refine existing mechanisms, and add to their own range.

 

How Does It Work?

The BKG Policy Bank is simple.  BKG members get unlimited and fre and can take advantage of as many or as few as they choose.  All they have to do is let us know which they want – and we’ll e-mail them straight away.

Our expectation is that as well as ‘withdrawing’ policies and procedures from the bank, organisations will ‘deposit’ some too.  We’re happy to acknowledge individual companies that share policies, but we will usually take out references to company names, and we will remove logos.  The more organisations that share their policies and procedures, the richer the resource will become.

Non-members can access the resource too.  Non-members can access our policies and procedures free providing they make a deposit.  For each policy or procedure you deposit in the Bank, we will let you withdraw one from stock.

New titles will become available shortly, and will be highlighted on this site as soon as they are published.  From time to time, we will review the content and structure of each title to ensure its relevance.  We will change the dates in brackets when a new version is released.  We will also be producing a series of template forms to sit alongside many of these procedures.  As these become available, we will list them on this page, but PDF versions will not appear.
