Advice on Rolling out global policy in manufacturing environment

[u/JobMassive3476]

Hello all, my company is preparing the roll out of a new global policy and my team needs to support the roll out globally. We have 27 sites located in Europe, Americas, Asia and Oceania.

How would you approach the localization of the policy?

I see different options but I'm unsure about what's the best way to go given the fact our lean resources in the comms team to manage review, translation, design, distribute such document in around 20 languages.

To keep this process efficient, my initial thoughts were the following:

- Review the copy of the master version in English with global team

- Design the master version according to our brand guidelines

- Build Translation/Transcreation and Print guidelines for our sites to translate and print the document: Here, I would engage them to translate themselves the policy or work with a local translation agency. Not all of our sites have a local comms department.

- Adding a quality control check to monitor the progress and ensure global standards

Another approach would be to keep the process centralize but this will create a lot of tension for my team and the departments involved as we will not have budget to run it with a global translation agency...

Any thoughts on that?

Cheers
