It is important that you have clear policies to provide clarity on the operational issues for your practice.

A policy provides guidance to employees, clearly outlining how to behave and what is expected. They should be regularly communicated and readily available to your employees. Policies can be developed for a number of different areas – leave, privacy, social media, health and safety, discrimination and bullying, telephone and internet use.
