Policies shape the foundations of organisational life, yet their role in tackling our workforce challenges is often over looked. We have created the Affinity Policy Review Framework—a research-informed approach to policy assessment and improvement - to help organisations develop policies that are:

✅ Fair – Consistently applied and free from bias.
✅ Compassionate – Considerate of employee wellbeing and circumstances.
✅ Accessible – Clear, easy to understand, and widely available.
✅ Legally Compliant – Aligned with employment law and best practices.
✅ Practical & Actionable – Easy to implement and not just theoretical.
✅ Transparent – Open about intent, process, and consequences.
✅ Inclusive – Designed to support diverse needs and lived experiences.
✅ Flexible & Adaptive – Able to evolve with organisational and workforce needs.
✅ Preventative – Aiming to reduce risks and workplace issues before they arise.

Drawing on evidence, best-practice guidance from Acas, the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, and the Health and Safety Executive, and insights from experts in health and work, our framework identifies 16 key considerations for effective policy design and implementation.

Coming soon: Further details on the development and evaluation of Affinity's Policy Review Tool.
