OVERVIEW:
How do you develop an effective and relevant employee handbook?
When do we provide our employees with a variety of information to help them understand employment expectations?
Why is an employee handbook important in empowering
company, its assets and its employees?
An employee handbook is a valuable tool that helps understand issues, reference policies, and learn what is acceptable in the workplace.
Having an employee handbook is not something some employers think about until there is a pressing need. This is specially true in small businesses that often operate administratively on an as-needed basis.
However, this can easily lead to miscommunication, confusion, and chaos. For this reason, creating an employee handbook should be non-negotiable.
The training is provided virtually through the Zoom platform.
