If you've worked in an organization for any time, it's no secret that you'll follow specific company onboarding procedures. Human Resources departments and legal teams spend hours and numerous resources to create policies and procedures for their business. They expect every employee to familiarize themselves with them and try to uphold those guidelines.
Proper methods help teach your employees the policies and procedures of your business and can be accomplished in unique ways. You can learn more about the onboarding process in our onboarding checklist. Considering some policies and procedures are long and detailed, it can take time to understand and appreciate these policies fully. In some cases, your employees need to read up on new changes and should only spend the minimum necessary time trying to interpret what has changed from the previous version.
As the size of your organization grows, a policy center can help organize the growing number of documents you have and streamline it. From policy creation through distribution and employee acknowledgment, a policy system can save time and increase efficiency. We not only help HR and compliance teams make the policy workflow more effective, but we also help them structure their policies, processes, and procedures, positioning them for continued growth.
Built with Power Apps and Microsoft SharePoint technology, the 2toLead Policy Centre solution creates clarity and transparency around your policies with an easy-to-use integrated platform. Microsoft makes HR and Communications much easier.
Quickly and easily obtain an acknowledgment from your employees that they have read and understood your policies and procedures. Our app gives users confidence that each employee is reviewing key documents, whether it is for the entire organization or a single team.
Get started quickly with new policies or use existing files without re-creating documents already in use. As you establish policies, version control captures changes, and files are routed for approval. When published, a unique workflow notifies individuals or groups and confirms they have read and understood the policy shared. Employees can access these new documents quickly and easily from their workstations. They will also have access to each policy for future review if necessary. Reporting tracks everything for auditing and provides complete visibility across your business.

Transparent communication is about more than being open and honest with employees. It means establishing communication standards, norms, and expectations. The possibilities of impactful communication are much different today. Effective communication involves leveraging technology, mastering meetings, and cloud-based collaboration.
When done right, transparent communication gives you the power to hold employees accountable to organizational expectations.
The Policy Centre app helps you communicate effectively, providing a platform for storing, updating, tracking, and distributing essential policies and procedures to your workforce.
When it comes to setting role responsibilities and performance goals, vagueness is the enemy. Setting defined (but realistic) expectations for new hires from the get-go—and communicating them clearly—can help workers evaluate their progress and prepare for what's to come.
Employee handbooks, payroll forms, and non-disclosure agreements are why onboarding is often associated with a ton of paperwork. But if you drop all the necessary forms on your new hire at once, they could become disillusioned or, worse, overwhelmed.
The Policy Center app makes this transition much more manageable. You can effectively share the standard procedures promptly without causing additional stress on your staff. Using Microsoft to ease staff into their positions gracefully pays off!
Most documents, especially policies, go through several revisions and edits as the people involved in their creation gather new information, gain more insights, and receive feedback from other stakeholders.
Also, as policies go through their regular reviews and updates, you want to ensure that everyone in the organization uses the current policies. No leader wants to have employees acting on information two years out of date because they never received the updated policy or mistakenly read from the old version for guidance.
When a policy is updated and approved in the Policy Centre app, old versions are archived automatically in SharePoint, and only the most current version is available to users. Policies can even be archived manually or automatically on a specific date, per your organization's retention rules and version control policies.
