Learn to create a firm policy manual that boosts firm productivity, increases professionalism while minimizing risk. Join award-winning instructor Jo Mangum for a peer-based workshop that will address popular stumbling blocks when creating and implementing policy manuals.
A firm policy manual is more than just a set of rules — it’s a dynamic document that brings consistency to decision-making, offers legal protection, improves communication, and enhances accountability. More importantly, it can be the critical lifeline that helps you avoid costly lawsuits, time-consuming investigations, and the kind of chaos that pulls you away from running your business.
