Policies, Compliance and Governance for E-commerce and D2C

Policies a manager can apply, and obligations with owners and dates.

What this looks like in e-commerce and d2c

The parts of policies, compliance and governance that are specific to this sector, rather than general.

Policies for a Workforce That Triples

Governance that survives a peak.

What this covers

E-commerce operations add a large temporary workforce for a short period, frequently through agencies, across warehouse locations that may have different applicable requirements.

  • Policies covering temporary and agency workers explicitly
  • Agency compliance obligations defined contractually and verified
  • Warehouse establishment obligations tracked per location
  • Working hours and shift policies applied during peak, not suspended
  • Data handling policy covering customer information
  • Code of conduct communicated to temporary staff at induction
  • Acknowledgement captured at volume
  • Named owner for each recurring obligation

Verifying that agencies are meeting their own obligations, rather than assuming it, is the exposure that most e-commerce operations carry without having examined it.

The general method — what policies, compliance and governance covers, the questions it answers and what an engagement produces — is the same whatever the sector, and is set out on the hr policies and governance page. What is above is the part that differs for e-commerce and d2c.

Where to start
