Because the SatNav says so?

Mr Jones with his car teetering on a cliff edge next to Pennine pathway said he could not turn left or right and had to keep driving straight because his Sat Nav said so.

Too many times I have had to speak up when my HR colleagues fall into the trap of telling managers they can’t do something because the HR policy says so.

Policy does not drive practice it’s the other way around. We are not controlled by the machine; we are not in a perpetual groove that has no turns. We are here to release the power of our workforce by helping managers see, appreciate and capitalise on potential. We don’t to that by relying on policies designed to absorb and neutralise initiative

Police have charged Mr Jones with driving without due care and attention. HR what about us???
