Version the policy before sending

Record the policy version, the effective date, and the changes since the last version. Send the full text with a short summary of what changed.

Do not bury a material change in a long document without a note.

Use a system that records the person, the version, and the time. A reply emoji is not an acknowledgment.

For new hires, make the acknowledgment part of onboarding. For changes, set a deadline and a reminder.

List people who have not acknowledged and route the list to the manager. Record the escalation and the resolution.

Keep the acknowledgments for as long as the policy applies and review the flow when the policy changes.
