We have been reviewing some of our corporate policies and have identified that they are of a poor standard if considered against a document hierarchy, the don’t define the organisations intent regarding the subject matter; instead they start to defined the relative process to a Level 4 detail.
In response I’ve developed a clear template for all future policies but at the same time noticed that our own 9001 quality policy (and also the same for many other organisations) is not written from an intent perspective – what we will do to meet the requirements but instead is a statement of how we have met the requirements… If I’m not mistaken the standard (9001:2015) calls for a policy not a statement. Have we been getting this wrong?
