Where do I find company policies?
Published policies sit together on one screen, grouped into categories, each carrying a summary and its own stable address. One live instance publishes twelve policies across five categories covering conduct, workforce management, compensation and benefits, talent and the employee lifecycle. Every published policy is readable by everyone in the company.
A policy that nobody can find is a policy that does not exist in practice, whatever the intranet says.
So the library is one surface rather than a folder tree. Categories group it, and each policy has a summary above the text. That lets someone see in seconds if they're reading the right one.
Each policy also has a slug, which gives it a durable address. A link shared in a message still works months later. That matters, because most policy questions come as someone asking a colleague. The best answer is a link, not a paraphrase.
The five categories in the live instance suggest the shape a policy set tends to take. Conduct. Workforce management. Compensation and benefits. Talent and performance. The employee lifecycle.
Those are the company's own categories, not supplied ones. A different company would group its policies differently, and nothing forces this arrangement.
Each policy is also indexed for the policy assistant, so staff can ask a question in plain words and be pointed to the right text.
A policy still in draft is not in the library. Only published policies appear, so a rule somebody has been told about verbally may genuinely have no page to point at yet.
Link the policy rather than retyping it. A copied paragraph goes stale the day the policy changes, and nobody who received it ever learns that it did.
Related questions
Are policies split by department?
Categories are thematic rather than departmental in the live instance. A company sets its own categories, so a departmental grouping is possible if it chooses one.
Can I ask a question about a policy?
Yes. The policy assistant answers from the published policies. The policy page itself is the final word.
Who can read policies?
Published policies are an employee surface, readable across the company. Authoring is separate and sits with HR.
