Employee handbooks have grown from simple lists of work rules and benefits into part of an organization-wide management process that supports business objectives, adds value to human capital and reduces legal risk. This 90-minute employee handbook training explains how to make yours effective.
You'll review the basics of handbook development, the expanding purposes and scope of handbooks, a handbook template and the dimensions of critical policies. The session covers an NLRB General Counsel memorandum warning that badly designed handbooks can break the law and chill employee activity, how to close the gap between issuing a policy and implementing it, and a framework for handbook audits.
It also explains the role of stakeholder input, metrics and internal controls in keeping handbook policies working.
A handbook sets out what employers and employees can expect of each other. Done well, it supports the employment brand, recruitment, retention, morale and consistent policy enforcement. Done poorly, it can make promises you didn't intend, increase liability and undercut managers.
This session suits HR professionals, risk managers, internal auditors, in-house counsel, CFOs, CEOs, management consultants and anyone who develops or implements handbooks.
