Newly Updated Policy Procedure Manuals
Policy and procedure manuals do not stay useful by sitting untouched. Job descriptions change, internal controls mature, technology policies expand, and customer-facing procedures need to keep pace with how the business actually works.
Bizmanualz updated and released six of its most popular policy procedure manuals with new procedure topics, updated procedures, and complete job descriptions for every position referenced in the procedures.

These manuals are the foundation of the Bizmanualz comprehensive library of over 2000 policies, procedures, job descriptions, and forms. Well-maintained documentation also supports the same basic operating discipline described in ISO quality management guidance: consistent processes, clear requirements, and continual improvement.
New Policy Procedure Content
Included among the newly released topics are a BYOD, or Bring Your Own Device, policy in the Computer and IT Manual, plus seven new topics in the Sales & Marketing Manual including Social Media Strategy, Customer Satisfaction Survey, Post-Sale Customer Follow-up, and Customer Returns.
The Finance Manual now includes Stock Journal content, and the Accounting Manual includes Petty Cash content. The index in every manual has also been updated to make searching easier, so teams can find the policy, procedure, form, or job description they need without digging through outdated tables of contents.
New Control Block Format
All policy and procedure manuals now have a control block table for every procedure. The control block identifies the author, reviewer, and approver with names and dates for each event.
That format gives companies a clearer record of procedure ownership. It also helps managers see when a procedure has been reviewed, who approved it, and whether the document is ready to use in training, compliance, or internal-control work.
New Job Descriptions Content
Job descriptions have been added for every job referenced in each manual. These descriptions include a description of the position, essential duties and responsibilities, organizational relationships, specific qualifications, and physical demands of the position.
Additionally, the HR Policies and Procedures Manual includes 87 job descriptions that will be helpful in defining or advertising a variety of positions. Examples include Nurse, Insurance Agent, Risk Manager, Purchasing Agent, and several IT-related positions.
Many small and medium size companies do not have the resources to research best practices and optimal standards to establish formal policies. These publications identify and provide the guidance and tools required to accurately and efficiently define requirements of the organization.
Updated Bundles for the CEO CFO
The CEO and CFO bundles have also been updated to reflect the latest policy and procedure manual updates. Previous customers may update to the latest release by contacting sales.
