Creating a Positive Office Atmosphere: What Rules Should I Set for My Team?

Hello all,

I've joined an IT company with a staff of 50 employees. I need to establish rules and regulations for the employees of my company. Can anybody please suggest what points I should include to create a better atmosphere in the office? Something that can easily explain all the dos and don'ts to them.

Please reply ASAP.

Thanks & Regards,

Understanding Company Policies: Dos and Don'ts

Dos and Don'ts differ from company to company. For example, one company may forbid the use of mobile phones on the premises, while others may not. Some have strict policies regarding the use of external hard disks for data transfer with company computers, casual dressing, and so on. I think you are working at the policy administration and execution level, so you can refer to your company policies or employee handbook to prepare your own list of dos and don'ts.

Some common Dos and Don'ts would be related to hygiene, decorum, communication, etc. Conduct research on these topics and present your findings to your seniors. If you wish, share it with us too.

I suggest you should talk to the management about what they expect and what they want from the policy. Then, it will be easier to form a policy. The nature of work always matters in creating and implementing policy.

I second Mr. P S Dhingra; follow his advice. For your specific query, you can type "Employee Handbook" in the search tab of Cite Co. at the top of this page, and you will find numerous documents to refer to. Please go through them and amend them as per your needs. I would like to reiterate what has been advised by our knowledgeable member in this forum: develop a habit of reading to avoid being overly reliant on others for information. This forum aims to assist and guide individuals who are facing challenges and need the expertise of senior, experienced professionals.
