Publishing Policies and Procedures with PBwiki

The official PBwiki resource on publishing policies and procedures

We've put together a guide to using your PBwiki for policies and procedures.

 

 

For details using PBwiki to publish policies and procedures, see our best practices below.

 

Adding Value Via Policies & Procedures

1) Reduce the time & effort required to distribute "Standard Operating Procedures"

  • E.g. Hotel chain saves hundreds of man-hours/month

 

2) Make it easier to collaborate on drafting policies and procedures

  • E.g. RBC’s customer service group formalizes best practices

 

3) Improve compliance by bringing all into the process

  • E.g. Everyone at PBwiki understands policies because they participate

 

The Four Approaches To Publishing Policies & Procedures

  • Read-only
    • Simple way to distribute centrally set policies and procedures
    • Saves time and money on distribution
    • Mirrors how most companies currently publish policies & procedures
  • Collaborative creation, read-only publishing
    • Page-level access allows you to allow different levels of access at different stages
      • Invite a small group of users to collaborate
      • Allow anyone in the organization to contribute
      • When all have been heard, lock for publishing
  • Collaborative
    • On an ongoing basis, allow some or all members of the organization to refine and update
    • Ideal for best practices, self-managed workgroups
    • Builds strong team commitment
  • Public
    • Allow the public to see (but not edit) your policies and procedures
    • Most commonly used for mission statements
    • Transparency is especially helpful for building customer trust, appealing to prospective employees
