By Martha Graham


The housing industry has witnessed a boom leading to excellent returns to investors. Thus, if you are planning to invest, then I would highly recommend to you this sector. Nonetheless, you will need a handbook to guide you in running of your company. Below are tips on creating a Policies and Procedures Manual and Management Guides for Real Estate to help you.

Research well for the project. If you will be the one drafting the document, then you should be ready to do some serious research work and get information on how to go about it. For this reason, go to the library and discuss the issue with the librarian. From his experience of collecting materials for the library, he will recommend to you the best books to use.

Talk to experts. One of the most reliable means of drafting a handbook is through talking to experts who have specialized in this kind of work. As a result, talk to your friends, relatives, and business associates to help you get in touch with an excellent specialist. Thereafter, contact and have a word with him on how to go about it.

Seek online help. The internet houses many samples of guidebooks that can guide you during the drafting process. Thus, go through eight to ten templates and pick one that will suit your needs. After that, when doing the drafting, ensure that you make the necessary changes to make the document fit your company's needs.

Let it be easy to read. The handbook you draft, should be easy to understand and user friendly for its full implementation. Thus, the language used should be clear, less usage of professional jargon and precise. In addition, you should let your assistant or someone else read it since what may be clear to you will not be to third party.

All the staff members must get a copy of the document. To ensure that everyone gets a chance to read the document, it should be given out to all the staff members and even soft copies posted on the company's website and other blogging sites. Do not forget to write down the names of all the staff members who have received the document.

Let it cover an array of issues. An excellent handbook, should cover an array of issues that affect the day to day running of the company. Furthermore, you should engage the staff members in coming up with the issues to be covered. Hence, some of the critical issues to cover should be sexual harassment, performance reviews, workplace privacy, and expenses.

Create room for amendments. Always remember that rules are meant to guide humans and therefore they should not be rigid. In addition, you should put in mind that new laws are enacted yearly and amendment done, which are likely to affect the handbook. Consequently, you will not have any problems with the national laws and the implementation process will be smooth.

Lastly, the guidebook must be fully implemented. The process of preparing handbook, does not end with producing and distributing the final draft. You need to put in measures and ensure that it is fully implemented by the staff members. In addition, you should put in place some penal measures to punish anyone who does not participate in its implementation.
