    Topic:  Employee Handbook -- Your Friend or Your Enemy

    Employee handbooks are a critical tool in providing important information to employees. They describe what employers expect of their employees and what employees can (should) expect from their employers. They provide critical information about employers and their workplaces and how employees are expected to fit in.

    Handbooks, however,  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 the organization did not intend to make. 

    Unfortunately, they also provide the basis for employees’ legal actions - increasingly at the state and local levels - and can significantly reduce employees’ commitment to organizational success.

    Areas Covered in the Session:
    • Key employee handbook issues in 2024
    • A review of the NLRB’s memorandum on employee handbooks
    • How organizations can reduce the gap between policy issuance and effective implementation
    • Review the basics of employee handbook development
    • Discuss the expanding purposes and scope of employee handbooks
    • Learn the dimensions of critical handbook policies
    • Understand the framework of employee handbook audits activities
