ASK YOURSELF THESE KEY QUESTIONS...
- If an employee came to you, would you be confident that there is a section within your Employee Handbook that addresses their issue?
- When is the last time your Employee Handbook was updated? Laws change nearly every month. Are you currently in compliance?
- Do you know the primary purpose for an Employee Handbook?
- If you do have an Employee Handbook, do you use it? Many companies have a handbook, but don't know how to use or maintain it - essentially making it useless
BENEFITS OF A PROPER EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK
- Reduction of risk - (Employee Relations Lawsuits can easily be SIX FIGURES)
- The peace of mind that comes with KNOWING your policies are compliant
- Consistency in policy across your entire organization - Reduce your risk of discrimination by following your newly developed concrete policies
- Rise in employee morale, increase in productivity and in your bottom line
Essentially, your Employee Handbook lays the groundwork for how your business runs from day to day. If your business does not have an Employee Handbook, or if is not up to date, then your business may be at a high risk for costly employee relations issues, and may also not be running efficiently.
