Contract Guardian offers the flexibility to manage much more than just contracts! Policy and Procedures is a good example. Other processes that we see frequently managed by clients include: Incident Reporting, Human Resources, Certification Management, Equipment Warranties and Corporate Integrity Agreements to name a few.
Policies are guiding principles that express the organization's culture, goals, and philosophy. Policies promote consistence and operational efficiency, enhance the organization's mission and mitigate significant organizational risk. Procedures are step-by-step descriptions of the tasks required to support and carry out organizational policies.
