For policies to be effective, they need strong support from the organization's administration and training manager. This backing is crucial because it ensures that the policies are taken seriously and consistently enforced within the organization. When top leadership demonstrates commitment to a policy, it encourages employees to recognize its importance and comply with its provisions.

Support from the administration signifies that the necessary resources—such as time, training, and enforcement mechanisms—will be allocated to ensure the policy's success. Additionally, collaboration with the training manager guarantees that staff are adequately educated about the policy, understand its implications, and can integrate it into their daily operations. This alignment of leadership and training is essential to foster a culture that values and adheres to the established policies.

While other factors like annual reviews and implementation frameworks are important for maintaining policies over time, without initial strong support from the organization’s leadership, even well-designed policies may falter in actual practice. Therefore, having backing from administration and training management is fundamental to the policy’s effectiveness.
