As the saying goes, there are no rules and no circles. For an enterprise, setting rules means formulating a set of reasonable, legal and applicable rules and regulations.

The development of society is inseparable from the restriction of laws, and similarly, the normal operation of enterprises is inseparable from the system. A good manager and a good boss are masters who make good use of the system to manage the enterprise.

Rules and regulations will bring good order, and order is an important condition to ensure efficient work. Without the constraints of rules, it will cause chaos for individuals, teams and society, and no positive development can be achieved.

So, as a business owner, how should we formulate rules and regulations?

Don't follow the gourd and draw the scoop, copy it directly

Many business owners feel that they don’t know how to formulate company rules and regulations, and they don’t know which rules to formulate, so they implement the policy of “bringing it” from beginning to end, directly copying the successful experience of others, and just mechanically imitating other people’s things. .

However, blindly imitating others will not succeed. In a certain sense, rules and regulations are the culture of a company and the epitome of the company's spirit. The system suitable for others may not be suitable for your company! Why do so many companies fail to learn Huawei's wolf culture? It is because they only know how to copy, but do not know how to adapt and integrate with the actual situation of their own company, and finally make employees complain, which is counterproductive.

Therefore, the rules and regulations of the enterprise should be combined with the corporate culture. A good system must be complementary to the corporate culture, and it is the concentration and reaction of the corporate culture. If the two deviate from each other, the system becomes a decoration and cannot be recognized by the employees.

to be people-oriented

The most important resource in an enterprise is people, which is the key to the success or failure of an enterprise. Therefore, when formulating rules and regulations, the boss must highlight the dominant position of people in management, and the purpose of the system itself is to restrain and regulate, not to punish.

When formulating the system, it is necessary to fully solicit the opinions and suggestions of employees, strive to maximize the interests of employees, let employees' opinions be affirmed, and feel that the enterprise attaches great importance to employees. Instead of thinking about how to use the system to punish employees and deduct their wages and bonuses every day.

If the system is set up with the concept of "human nature is evil" and for the purpose of suspicion and supervision, it will definitely be difficult to get the approval of employees, which will make employees feel distrusted. When Alibaba decided to distribute maternity clothes to pregnant female workers, the administrative department drafted a management regulation with cumbersome content and numerous approvals. When reporting to Ma Yun, Ma Yun killed him with a swipe of his pen, and stipulated that "as long as a female worker is pregnant, she can go directly to the warehouse to collect it." Some people were worried about impersonation, Ma Yun said: "No, the truth will be revealed in three months." This is a humanized system based on people.

Comply with legal and valid principles

The legality of rules and regulations is the primary condition for the establishment of enterprise rules and regulations. The formulation of various management systems of an enterprise must comply with national laws, administrative regulations and policies. If it is not legal, the enterprise management system will not only fail to regulate the operation of the enterprise and avoid business risks, but will instead bring risks to the operation of the enterprise.

For example, many employers stipulate that those who have been employed for less than three months cannot resign. Such regulations are in conflict with the law, and even if they are formulated, they are not legal; many companies choose to directly copy and paste the rules of large companies when formulating rules and regulations for overtime. However, overtime policies have different local policies in different regions.

Therefore, when formulating rules and regulations, enterprises should pay attention not to violate existing laws and regulations, especially not to violate local policies and regulations, so as to avoid unnecessary losses.

Everyone is equal before the system

The system of the enterprise is equivalent to the laws and regulations of the country, and no one can violate it, and the leaders are no exception. Only by adhering to the principle of "in front of the system, everyone is equal", can the system be implemented and truly play a role.

In Lenovo Group, for meetings with more than 20 people, latecomers will be punished for standing for 1 minute. Soon after the regulations were introduced, someone was late for the meeting. This person was Liu Chuanzhi's old leader, but Liu Chuanzhi still ordered the old leader to stand for 1 minute in accordance with the regulations. Liu Chuanzhi himself was late, and he was punished for standing still.

The corporate system must never be formalistic, and no one can be privileged in front of the system. An excellent enterprise leader should know how to focus his energy on the internal management of the enterprise, and he should actively lead by example to further improve the internal system of the enterprise, so that leaders and employees are all equal, and do not engage in privileges, such an enterprise can develop for a long time.
