No, "policy making" is not hyphenated when used as a noun or gerund phrase. It is typically written as two separate words, such as in "policy making is essential for effective governance." However, when used as a compound adjective before a noun, it can be hyphenated, as in "policy-making process."

While the Associated Press (AP) Style Book-the preferred source for written style for thousands of journalists world-wide (at least those who write for the English language)-state that decision making be hyphenated in all cases (e.g.: decision-making, decision-maker), and while as a former editor and publisher, I would typically defer to the AP style, I prefer the answer provided by a number of other sources (including many, if not most, American universities and government agencies, as well as virtually all on-line resources) which say that the compound should be hyphenated when used as an adjective, and not hyphenated when used as a noun (e.g.: our decision-making process versus the process of our decision making, etc.)
