This book is about a much neglected but essential element of the success of any business: company policy. This is a comprehensive guide to determining what policies your company needs, and how to draft and approve the relevant documents and implement them throughout the organization. From anti-bribery laws to data privacy and health and safety, your business is faced with a range of legal and regulatory obligations that must be identified and documented properly. These obligations must be addressed for internal and external stakeholders. The task of identifying and documenting effective policies is an essential step in establishing good corporate governance and ultimately a culture of compliance. These policies in turn provide a solid foundation for the reputation and commercial success of the organization, and form an essential "bridge" between the company’s strategy and the various procedures needed to carry it out. With many useful templates and practical examples, this book will help you to ensure the accuracy and completeness of your policy documents. It covers all areas of your business, including financial reporting, anti-money laundering, anti-fraud, conflicts of interest, data privacy and security, remote working, social media, whistleblowing, and more. This book will be useful to company directors, company secretaries and senior managers, and their advisers, including consultants, auditors, and solicitors. It will be particularly relevant to any business that needs to create or review their policies in light of current regulations and standards.

Gallup presents the remarkable findings of its revolutionary study of more than 80,000 managers in First, Break All the Rules, revealing what the world’s greatest managers do differently. With vital performance and career lessons and ideas for how to apply them, it is a must-read for managers at every level. The greatest managers in the world seem to have little in common. They differ in sex, age, and race. They employ vastly different styles and focus on different goals. Yet despite their differences, great managers share one common trait: They do not hesitate to break virtually every rule held sacred by conventional wisdom. They do not believe that, with enough training, a person can achieve anything he sets his mind to. They do not try to help people overcome their weaknesses. They consistently disregard the golden rule. And, yes, they even play favorites. This amazing book explains why. Gallup presents the remarkable findings of its massive in-depth study of great managers across a wide variety of situations. Some were in leadership positions. Others were front-line supervisors. Some were in Fortune 500 companies; others were key players in small entrepreneurial companies. Whatever their situations, the managers who ultimately became the focus of Gallup’s research were invariably those who excelled at turning each employee’s talent into performance. In today’s tight labor markets, companies compete to find and keep the best employees, using pay, benefits, promotions, and training. But these well-intentioned efforts often miss the mark. The front-line manager is the key to attracting and retaining talented employees. No matter how generous its pay or how renowned its training, the company that lacks great front-line managers will suffer. The authors explain how the best managers select an employee for talent rather than for skills or experience; how they set expectations for him or her — they define the right outcomes rather than the right steps; how they motivate people — they build on each person’s unique strengths rather than trying to fix his weaknesses; and, finally, how great managers develop people — they find the right fit for each person, not the next rung on the ladder. And perhaps most important, this research — which initially generated thousands of different survey questions on the subject of employee opinion — finally produced the twelve simple questions that work to distinguish the strongest departments of a company from all the rest. This book is the first to present this essential measuring stick and to prove the link between employee opinions and productivity, profit, customer satisfaction, and the rate of turnover. There are vital performance and career lessons here for managers at every level, and, best of all, the book shows you how to apply them to your own situation.

Industrial Loan Co., or ILCs, are a small, but rapidly growing part of the financial industry. These institutions operate in 7 states & have nearly all of the same powers as commercial banks. However, ILCs differ greatly from banks in one characteristic -- ILCs may be owned & operated by firms engaged in commercial activities, thus skirting the prohibitions on mixing banking & commerce. This article examines the public policy issues that arise from mixing banking & commerce. It reviews the history of ILCs & the legal & supervisory frameworks under which they operate. Looks at the reemergence of ILCs under their new forms of ownerships & takes a close look at individual ILCs & the types of bus. they conduct. Also explores the public policy issues. Illus.
