Stupid Rules and the HR Who Loves Them.
Episode Summary:
In this episode, we break down how to write and implement workplace policies that are fair, clear, and actually useful—no fluff, no meaningless jargon. Whether you’re an HR pro, a manager, or running your own business, we’ll walk you through the principles of good policy design, common pitfalls to avoid, and tools you can use to make your policies work for real people.
What You’ll Learn
- The difference between good policies and “because we said so” policies
- How to write policy language that’s clear, enforceable, and fair
- Common mistakes that make policies useless or even harmful
- How to roll out policies so employees understand and respect them
- Checking for bias, avoiding legal issues, and aligning with company culture
Key Takeaways
- Clarity Above All – Simple, plain language beats fancy HR speak every time.
- Consistency + Flexibility – You need a baseline of rules, but also allowance for reasonable judgment.
- Transparency – Let people see why policies exist and how they apply; it builds trust.
- Feedback Loops Matter – Policies should evolve. Solicit input and update them when needed.
- Don’t Be Overly Punitive – Discipline should be fair and predictable; punishments that seem arbitrary or extreme erode morale.
