Organizations often hesitate to create, update, or utilize an Employee Handbook, mistakenly believing that operating without one, or omitting certain sections, shields them from liability. Employees are more likely to take legal action if they perceive the employer's practices as inconsistent, ill-defined, or uncommunicated. An Employee Handbook is the single most important resource for guiding employees and supervisors on expected behavior, as well as the rules and procedures that apply during their employment.
If your organization’s employment and human resource policies are scattered across various memos, emails, and other documents, or if creating a cohesive handbook has been on your to-do list for longer than you'd like to admit, it’s time to take action. Additionally, if you already have a Handbook, it’s essential to update it annually to keep up with the ever-changing laws and regulations.
You’re not alone in this process. Let’s create a comprehensive, up-to-date Employee Handbook together.
