Employee handbooks are dynamic, “living” documents – they evolve over time with changes in the law, best practices and an organization’s individual culture and strategic goals. They’re also a key communication tool – setting expectations for employees, and describing what those employees can expect from your organization.

Updating employee handbooks is a continuous process. This session will identify key issues to monitor that may prompt additional revisions to your handbook. The program provides an overview of current handbook best practices, as well as discussion of recent changes in the law and key policies to include.

Learning Objectives: 

• Learn quick tips for layout, organization, content, formats and distribution best practices
• Learn how to clearly articulate expectations through your handbook and written policies
• Identify new developments in the law that require policy revision
• Identify issues to monitor that may prompt additional revisions to the handbook
