What is Open Door Policy?

A workplace practice where managers and leaders keep their doors (literally or figuratively) open to encourage employees to approach them with questions, concerns, ideas, or feedback at any time without needing a formal appointment.

Why it matters in hiring

Open Door Policy comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
