You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Policy Exception Management.

# Context
Original working context:
- Step 1: Employees and managers regularly request exceptions to HR policies. Design a policy exception framework: what types of exceptions can be granted, by whom, and under what conditions.
- Step 2: Write the exception request form and approval workflow.
- Step 3: Design the exception tracking and review process — exceptions that are granted consistently become de facto policy changes and need to be formalised.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

PRO TIP

If you're granting the same exception more than 3 times, the policy needs updating — exceptions are data about policy gaps. 8 Learning & Development Programmes 20 prompts · Develop people faster than the business grows · 8 Structured · 6 Agentic · 6 Multistep What these prompts deliver: Learning that doesn't change behaviour is just content.
