1] Crafting Policy guidelines for your company

Do you have Policy Manuals? When did you update last?

Have you formulated Social Networking Guidelines for confidentiality, code of conduct, signed as part of your employment contract?

Are your employees clear on what they cannot do?

Compliance means conforming to a rule, such as a specification, policy, standard or law.

Regulatory compliance describes the goal that corporations or public agencies aspire to achieve in their efforts to ensure that personnel are aware of and take steps to comply with relevant laws and regulations.
