Westpak Ltd Company Guidelines

Welcome to Westpak, the company that cares!

As a new employee you probably have many ąuestions that you wish to ask about your new position. To help you settle in ąuickly, here are answers to some of the most freąuently asked ąuestions.

( 1 Guidelines vary enormously

from company to company

and industry to industry. Itis

important to distinguish

between guidelines

and regulations.

Regulations are reąuired for ensuring the legally correct handling of a contract, or the safe operation of a piece of machinery, for example.

The language used in regulations is therefore much morę directive.

Guidelines are also important for ensuring the smooth operation of the company, but they often touch on areas of human behaviour where it is not easy to dictate to people.

The language must therefore be morę persuasive and less directive, or else personnel will object.
