Overview:
This
webinar discusses the key employment policies that should be incorporated in
every employee handbook. The webinar further identifies policies statements
that add value to the employer-employee relationship and discusses key issues
that will require inclusion in the future.
Why
should you attend:
The
purpose and scope of employee handbooks policies and the practices are changing
and expanding. From a siloed HR activity that creates insular documents
concerned primarily with communicating the organization’s work rules and
benefits, employee handbook policies and practices have evolved into a critical
component of an organization-wide management process that maximizes the
organization’s achievement of business objectives, enhances the value of their
human capital, and minimizes legal risk.
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.
