Employee handbooks are a critical tool
in providing important information about your organization to employees.
Employee handbooks typically describe what you expect of your employees and
what your employees can (should) expect from you. Employee handbooks also
provide critical information about your organization and your workplace, and
how your employees are expected to fit in.
Employee handbooks further formalize
mutual expectations. In delineating these expectations employee handbooks
create opportunities and risks. Handbooks provide your organization with the
opportunity to enhance the value of its human capital, make your organization
more competitive, and improve individual and organizational performance.
Conversely, handbooks can impede the achievement of business objectives,
increase employment-related liabilities, and reduce managerial prerogatives by
making promises or commitments to certain procedural safeguards that your
organization did not intend to make. As noted in a memorandum from a former
General Counsel of the NLRB: “…incorrectly designed employee handbooks can
violate the law and have a ‘chilling effect’ on employees’ activities.”
Thus, while your employee handbook
provides you with the opportunity to make your workforce more committed and
supportive of your organizational goals, it can also, unfortunately, serve as
the basis for employees’ legal action and can significantly reduce employees’
commitment to your organization’s success.
Why Should You Attend
The purposes and the scope of employee
handbook process, policies and the practices are changing and expanding. From a
siloed HR activity that creates insular documents concerned primarily with communicating
the organizational work rules and benefits, employee handbook process, policies
and practices have evolved into a critical component of an organization-wide
management process that maximizes organizations’ achievement of business
objectives, enhances the value of their human capital, and minimizes legal
risk.
Thus, to increase the effectiveness of their employment policies, organizations
will have to:
» Enhance their business, operational, and legal intelligence to
ensure they have identified the changing external and internal factors that
affect their policies
» Increase internal stakeholder 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 organization goals
» Implement internal controls that identify and alert management
about employee handbook issues
Objectives of the Presentation
Your employee handbook plays an
important role in communicating with and providing information to your
employees. Increasingly, your employee handbook must ensure that it is aligned
with strategic and business objectives, is properly drafted, and is effectively
implemented. Thus, this webinar discusses how your handbook can:
» Enhance your employment
brand;
» Play a key role in recruitment and retention;
» Enhance employee relations, employee morale, and productivity;
» Contribute to uniform and consistent application, interpretation,
and enforcement of organizational policies and rules;
» Protect your organization against claims of improper
employee/supervisor conduct; and
» Reduce your organization’s exposure to employment-related
liabilities.
Areas Covered in the Session
A survey of employers revealed that organizations use employee handbooks to
address key business, legal, and talent management issues. Unfortunately, they
often limit the effectiveness of their handbook policies by using ineffective
employee handbook practices. As the survey report noted, in many organizations
there is a disconnect between the drafting and issuing of handbook policies and
the practices that ensure those policies are effectively implemented. This
disconnect can lead to missed business opportunities, lost strategic goals,
increased legal action, and the loss of critical talent. In this webinar, we
will look into;
» Key employee handbook issues in 2021
» A review of the NLRB’s most recent memorandum on employee
handbooks
» How your organization can reduce the gap between policy issuance
and effective implementation.
» Review the basics of employee handbook development
