1. Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to ensure that the dissemination of policy updates is thoroughly tracked and documented. This includes confirming that all stakeholders have received and acknowledged the updates and collecting feedback or questions from them. The policy also defines the process for generating a report summarizing the dissemination process and stakeholder responses, ensuring continuous improvement in policy communication.

2. Scope

This policy applies to:

• SayPro Policy Office: Responsible for tracking and reporting on policy dissemination.
• Internal Stakeholders: Employees, department heads, leadership teams within SayPro.
• External Stakeholders: Partners, clients, regulatory bodies, and any other relevant external entities impacted by policy updates.
• HR and Communication Teams: Support the tracking and dissemination of policy updates and manage feedback collection.

3. Policy Overview

SayPro’s Tracking and Reporting process ensures that every policy update is communicated to the relevant stakeholders, acknowledged by them, and followed up with feedback or questions. This process involves systematic tracking, generating a summary report, and analyzing the responses to assess the effectiveness of the communication.

4. Key Objectives

• Ensure Acknowledgment: Confirm that all stakeholders have received and acknowledged the policy updates.
• Track Dissemination: Maintain a record of which stakeholders have received the updates, when, and through which channels.
• Collect Feedback: Gather feedback or questions from stakeholders to understand their concerns and measure the effectiveness of the updates.
• Generate Reports: Create a comprehensive report summarizing the dissemination activities and stakeholder responses for review and further action.

5. Procedure for Tracking Dissemination

5.1 Tracking Receipt and Acknowledgment

• Email Confirmation: For internal stakeholders (employees, department heads, leadership), track the delivery of policy update emails. Use email tracking tools to ensure the email has been opened and read by recipients. In case of no acknowledgment:
  • Send follow-up emails or reminder messages.
  • For employees who require further clarification, direct them to the HR or Policy Office for assistance.
• Intranet and Website Tracking: For both internal and external stakeholders, track the views and downloads of policy updates and related documents on the SayPro intranet or website. The web analytics tools can track:
  • Page views on the Policy Updates section.
  • Document downloads (summary, policy documents, and FAQs).
• Manual Acknowledgment: In cases where automated tracking is not feasible (e.g., paper-based dissemination), require department heads or team leaders to manually track which team members have received and acknowledged the updates. These confirmations can be recorded using sign-off forms or acknowledgment sheets.

5.2 Collecting Feedback and Questions

• Survey/Feedback Forms: After dissemination, send out feedback surveys or questionnaires to both internal and external stakeholders. These should focus on:
  • Clarity of the policy updates.
  • Whether stakeholders have any questions or concerns.
  • The effectiveness of the dissemination process.
  • Suggestions for future improvements.
• Dedicated Feedback Channels: For more complex policies, establish a feedback channel (such as a dedicated email address or feedback form) for stakeholders to send their questions or concerns directly to the SayPro Policy Office or HR.
• Q&A Sessions: Organize Q&A sessions or webinars for employees or external stakeholders to ask questions regarding the policy updates. Track the number of participants and the types of questions raised.
