Of cause nobody is really going to read it in the beginning. But over time you might wonder whether you allowed to install your own software and then it good to have a place to look it up…

More valuable than a written policy though, I’ve found, in these working scenarios is an open and honest conversation around expectations. This goes for both sides of the table and results in a better employee-manager-team relationship in the long run. Don’t trust that someone is going to sit and read your 10+ page policy document, have an hour long conversation regarding the main points and use the document as a take away. This is a great opprotunity to get to know each other better, ask questions and just get a better feel for how everything will flow.
