Translate a Complex Workplace Policy Into Everyday Language
HR has sent round a policy written for lawyers, and you're the one who has to actually follow it. This prompt boils it down: what it's for, who it applies to, what it means you can and can't do. Good for anyone holding a policy document they're meant to apply but can't quite parse.
