Policy Team Roster
A Workplace Policy Team is a group of individuals, each with different roles in the organization, who come together and help create and champion a workplace policy.
Consider your organization from as many perspectives as possible and build a Workplace Policy Team with those perspectives in mind.
- Does your team have a mixture of managers, supervisors, and employees?
- Do you have representatives from as many divisions or departments as possible?
- Is the group diverse in gender, age, and length of employment?
- Are there employees who have an interest or responsibility related to safety?
- Are employees who regularly drive to work as well as those who don’t included?
