Topic Background:-

A nationwide survey of employers revealed that while organizations use employee handbooks to address key strategic, business, legal, and talent management challenges, they frequently limit the effectiveness of their handbook policies through the use of ineffective of the handbook practices. As the survey report noted, in many organizations there is a disconnect between the process of drafting and issuing of handbook policies and the practices that ensure those policies are effectively implemented.

To increase the effectiveness of their employment policies, organizations will have to ensure they:

• Have identified the changing external and internal factors that affect their policies;
• Have increased internal stakeholder participation in the handbook development process to obtain greater employee commitment and operational alignment;
• Have established new metrics to assess handbook policy and practices and measure the achievement of organization goals;
• Have implement internal controls that identify and alert management when employee handbook process failures occur.

Why Should You Attend:-

The purpose and scope of employee handbooks policies and the practices are changing and expanding.

In light of these changes and to ensure that your organization is properly communicating required notices, this webinar discusses how your organization can reduce the gap between policy issuance and effective implementation and discusses key employment provisions that should be in every employee handbook.
