ILLUSTRATIVE OUTLINE — FOR SCOPING DISCUSSION

Policy review and revision matrix

An example of how policy recommendations can be organized for an internal owner to review and decide.

1. Policy inventory
The purpose, owner, review date and employee touchpoints of each policy in scope.

2. Revision notes
Specific wording or process concerns, the rationale for change and proposed alternatives.

3. Adoption checklist
Approval, communication, training and follow-up decisions needed before a revised policy is used.

A USEFUL STARTING POINT
- A list of policies, handbooks and related procedures to review.
- Your policy approval process and the roles involved.
- A non-identifying summary of recurring questions about policy use.

WHAT WE AGREE BEFORE STARTING
- Recommendations remain subject to your legal, labour-relations and governance review.
- Implementation support, translations and training materials are scoped separately from the policy review.

Final methods, contents and responsibilities are agreed in your proposal.
