Bring Your Own Device policy and I.T. procedures

• an electronic transactions policy to make sure any eCommerce you have is kept safe
• an emergency management policy to make sure you have systems in place for when things go wrong.
  

If you're looking for a social media policy, you should also look at our human resources manual template.

Why use a policy and procedure manual?

The main benefits to having an information technology policy and procedure manual are:

• it ensures all staff are aware of obligations in relation to selection, use and safety when utilising information technology within the business
• it's a proven way to help your managers and supervisors make consistent and reliable decisions
• it helps give each employee a clear understanding as to what you expect and allow.
  

It takes a little effort to complete, but brings definite long-term benefits, reduces disputes, and adds to the professionalism of your business.
