Subject

A subject is a set of processes or procedures that apply to either the whole company (i.e. Employee Handbook) or a specific department or group (i.e. HR or HR Manager).

For example:

  • Reception Area Procedures

  • HR Policies

Topic

A topic is a specific process or procedure that falls under a broader set of processes or procedures.

For example:

  • In the subject Reception Area Procedures:

    • Greeting Customers

    • Answering Phones

  • In the subject HR Policies

    • PTO Policy

    • Remote Work Policy


Step

    • Existing Content Reference List
