Getting Company Owners To Follow Their Own Rules?

Posted by kdawson on Monday January 25, 2010 @04:34PM from the not-what-i-do dept.

techmage writes "Recently we had an issue at our small company that resulted in the loss of a lot of important data. To prevent it from happening again, we created a company-wide policy that all computers would return to IT to have their contents backed up, and the computers would be formatted and reloaded for the next user. Consistently the owners of the company break this and other policies we set up to prevent data loss, theft, etc. How do I get through to the bosses that when they break with the policies, they are potentially shooting the company in the foot?"

ah yes the socialist state of the UK... Companies just can't survive employing significant numbers of people in the UK - which is why everything you possibly can is offshored from manufacturing to services.
Employee vs Consumer expectation isn't even close to a match.
