It’s very important to give your policy regular check-ups, once it’s in place. Include how often and when

you will perform these check-ups as part of your policy.

Check-ups for healthy family friendly policies

A thorough check-up for your organisation’s policy should include the following:

• Revisit earlier discussions you had with colleagues and the board.

• Consider any policies that were not adopted in the first policy plan. Is now a good time to pursue these issues?

• Perform a quick cost/benefit analysis

• Consider the following questions:
  Are the policies still relevant to staff and organisational needs?
  

• Have individual arrangements worked?

• Have the policies been put in action evenly across the organisation? 

• Is everyone aware of the policies in place?

• Is the information readily available?
