Every people team has a folder of well-written policies that nobody has actually read. The gap isn't the policy — it's the rollout. A four-step process closes most of it.

Pair each rollout with a single, named owner who answers questions for two weeks.
Measure adoption, not acknowledgment. Signed receipts are not behavior.
