Developing Employee Handbook and HR Policies

We firmly believe that it is vital to a successful employee relations program that your organization has a comprehensive and up to date Employee Handbook. An Employee Handbook, offers a reliable information resource for your employees, as well as, serves as an avenue of communication between your organization and your employees. We can help your organization in the development, implementation and communication to your employees of a “best practice” Employee Handbook.

Our Employee Handbook development process is highly participative to insure that the final product truly reflects your organizational culture and accurately codifies your relationship with your employees. The process typically includes the following steps:

•  We conduct a review of the existing Employee Handbook, if one exists, to determine opportunities for improvement.
•  We provide a “best practice” Employee Handbook template to use as a source document for the revision process.
•  We convene and facilitate a series of meetings with a steering group of directors, managers and supervisors to assist in identifying new or revised HR policies and practices; new initiatives; modifications and/or enhancements that should be codified in the revised handbook.
•  A final draft is developed for publication that includes updated information and best practice enhancements, formatted in a manner to provide optimum readability.
•  We can assist in presenting the revised/new handbook to the leadership and staff by conducting the roll-out meetings or providing outlines for those presentations to HR staff or managers.
