When was the last time your employee handbook was reviewed?

If your employee handbook is non-existent or outdated, it can cause several problems, such as lawsuits against the company and increased employee violations. An employee handbook forms the foundation of any business/company and helps employees know the rules and what they can count on.

An employee handbook defines how work is done and other requirements such as the company’s policies, working conditions, and expectations. A well-organized and updated employee handbook helps businesses to minimize the challenges related to lawsuits and claims. It also helps to avoid misunderstandings caused by poorly written policies.

To avoid the issues caused by an outdated employee handbook, review and update all requirements and company policies to your employee handbook annually. By providing all the current dos and don’ts in writing, you can avoid harmful HR mistakes that can damage the company’s reputation.

An employee handbook that contains the company’s all policies and guidelines can provide a framework to ensure that the policies are well-implemented and increase expectations for employee conduct. Your company’s employee handbook must include the following information to give the employees a detailed outline of the working environment:

• Safety guidelines

• Social media guidelines

• Communication guidelines and policies

• Attendance policies

• Harassment laws

• Code of esthetics

• Guidelines for the company’s culture

• Non-discrimination policies

If you need a new handbook or a review of your existing one, please reach out to Human Resource Dimensions at www.hrdracc.com for assistance.
