Employee Handbooks: 2018 - 2019 Updates

ComplianceKEY - HR Checklists Training

Overview
A nationwide survey of employers revealed that while organizations use employee handbooks to address key business, legal, and talent management challenges, they often limit the effectiveness of their handbook policies by using ineffective handbook practices. As the survey report noted, in many organizations there is a disconnect between the drafting of handbook policies and the implementation of those policies.

To increase the effectiveness of their employment policies, organizations will have to:
1) enhance their business, operational, and legal intelligence to ensure they have identified the changing external and internal factors that affect their policies;
2) increase internal stakeholder participation in the handbook development process to obtain greater employee commitment and operational alignment;
3) establish new metrics to assess handbook policy and practices performance and measure the achievement of organization goals; and
4) implement internal controls that identify and alert management when employee handbook process failures occur.
Why should you attend this webinar?
For many organizations employee handbooks are the primary method used to communicate important employment-related information. They represent the official method of providing critical information about how employees should act and respond to various business decisions. Employee handbooks further provide information about the expected values employees should demonstrate; the expected conduct employee should exhibit; and what happens - such as employment at will - when employees fail to live up to their organizations' expectations

Thus, to increase the effectiveness of your organization's employment policies, your handbook will have to ensure that you have identified the changing external and internal factors that affect your policies; increase internal stakeholders participation in the handbook development process to obtain greater employee commitment and operational alignment; establish new metrics to assess handbook policy and practices performance and measure the achievement of organizational goals; and implement internal controls that identify and alert your management team when employee handbook processes failure to occur.
Further, since employee handbooks are often the only information about your organization seen by third parties, they must additionally serve as a positive tool about employment with your organization. Thus, while employee handbooks serve to communicate work rules, they must also provide a positive message about why individuals come to work for your organization.
This webinar discusses the positive features and concerns of employee handbooks and how your organization can reduce the gap between policy issuance and effective implementation.
