3. The ‘How We Do It Here’ Policies & Procedures Manual
All businesses benefit from having a written policies and procedures manual. It makes it easier to train new people and it takes the pressure off you having to be there to do everything yourself! And if you’re sick or injured, there’s a manual that your team can turn to help keep your business afloat until you return. Writing one from scratch is a big job. Don’t start from scratch; use the ‘The Way We Do It Here’ policies and procedures manual as your starting point.

This manual contains 82 generic policies and procedures relevant to the running of most businesses and which are ready to be tailored specifically to your business. Included are the 82 draft procedures, a template to use for writing your own new procedures, an explanation of how to do it easily, and all in both hard and soft copy. So if you’re finding being the only person who knows everything can be a trap – why not start your own policies and procedures manual the easy way! Price = $495 (GST inclusive)
