Policy Formulation
Creating Strategic Planning for the OrganizationWHAT IS POLICY FORMULATION
Dolly and Associates Limited assists organizations in identifying and exploring their needs in respect of formulation of policies to govern work-related behaviours. These policies support organizations in creating work environments that are emotionally and psychologically safe and facilitate productivity.
A workplace policy is a set of rules and principles that aims to guide managers and workers in how to behave in the workplace. Workplace policies establish boundaries for acceptable behavior and guidelines for best practices in certain work situations.  They are statements from company leaders outlining standards of behavior or limitations. Policies may cover several issues including bullying, harassment, internet use, health and safety, and social media use. Policies also contribute to the overall culture of the workplace, because they instill norms and values.
Our Formulation Approach
Harassment Prevention
Harassment in the workplace continues to be a serious issue for individuals and organizations. Harassment in the workplace refers to behaviour that appears to be disturbing or threatening. Sexual harassment refers to persistent and unwanted sexual advances, typically in the workplace, where the consequences of refusing are potentially very disadvantageous to the victim.
Companies invest in many things to create safe and productive environments. Harassing behaviour threatens that safety and has longer term impact on productivity. At Dolly and Associates we support companies in developing harassment policies to mitigate the risks of inappropriate behaviours in the workplace. We also offer harassment prevention training to your workforce.
