Description
The TrainHR Course is approved by HRCI and SHRM Recertification Provider. Overview: The purposes and the scope of employee handbook policies and the practices are changing and expanding. From a siloed HR activity that creates insular documents concerned primarily with communicating the organizational work rules and benefits, employee handbook policies and practices have evolved into a critical component of an organization-wide management process that maximizes organizations' achievement of business objectives, enhances the value of their human capital, and minimizes legal risk. To increase the effectiveness of their employment policies, organizations will have to: 1) enhance their business, operational, and legal intelligence to ensure they have identified the changing external and internal factors that affect their policies; 2) increase internal stakeholder participation in the handbook development process to obtain greater employee commitment and operational alignment; 3) establish new metrics to assess handbook policy and practices performance and measure the achievement of organization goals; and 4) implement internal controls that identify and alert management when employee handbook process failures occur. Thus, employee handbooks will increasingly have to ensure that they are aligned with strategic and business objectives, are properly drafted, and are effectively implemented. Additionally, they will have to:
From this perspective, employee handbooks will continue to play an important role in communicating with and providing information for employees. Why should you Attend: Employee handbooks are a critical tool in providing important information to employees. They describe what you expect from your employees and what employees can (should) expect from you. Employee handbooks provide critical information about your organization your workplace. Employee handbooks tell employees are expected to fit in. Employee handbooks further formalize the mutual expectations of your organization and that of your employees. In delineating these expectations, employee handbooks create opportunities and risks. Employee handbooks further provide your organization with the opportunity to enhance the value of human capital, make your organizations more competitive, and improve individual and organizational performance. Conversely, handbooks 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 your organization did not intend to make. As noted in the recent memorandum from the General Counsel of the NLRB: incorrectly designed employee handbooks can violate the law and having a "chilling effect" on employees' activities. Thus, employee handbooks increasingly provide you with the opportunity to make your work force more committed and supportive of your goals. Unfortunately, they also provide the basis for employees' legal actions- at the federal, state, and local levels- and can significantly reduce employees' commitment to your organization's success.
