NEW YORK, Oct. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Retaining employees, attracting talent, DEIB initiatives and evolving laws all take front and center when employers draft and update the employee handbook—and with good reason. Prepared thoughtfully, the handbook plays a key role in supporting these initiatives and helps employers manage risk. It's also a valuable resource for communicating company policies, promoting company values and onboarding new employees.
Key Points:
- Handbook policies can become dated if they haven't been refreshed to stay culturally relevant, promote inclusivity and speak to a diverse audience.
- The handbook offers real value in promoting employee engagement and retention," says Melissa Silver, Senior Legal Editor of Policy Solutions for XpertHR .
- XpertHR , an HR strategy, compliance and data provider, offers tips to help with the process with its new whitepaper, 6 Items to Include in Your Employee Handbook and 3 to Avoid .
- While identifying what to include in an employee handbook is important, it is equally or more important to recognize what to avoid in a handbook.
