      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

      A step is all of the individual actions that must take place to follow a specific process or procedure.

        • The Concept of Strategic Seduction
