It’s more than the basic employment information.
When done right, the Employee Handbook is part of your brand story, and has the power to reinforce the employee’s decision to work with your company. It is integral to your employee relations philosophy, essential to your employee communications, and crucial to your development of an effective culture and work environment.
An Employee Handbook can be an effective tool for communicating with new hires or the existing workforce. In most cases, the handbook is the first opportunity to provide written information to employees regarding the culture and work environment in which they will be spending much of their time. It is also the quickest, easiest, and most organized way for employers to consistently deliver critical information.
The handbook will be the resource for employees to do their research and obtain answers. Since many (if not the majority) of personal issues experienced by employees are unique, it may give them the chance to clarity their questions and issues before approaching their supervisor, manager, or Human Resources department.
Every organization should give the Employee Handbook the time it deserves. A good handbook demonstrates the respect and care that the employer has for its employees, and it communicates policies and procedures in a way that contributes to effective performance with less stress. Employees are important stakeholders within the company and deserve to be treated as such. A good Employee Handbook can do just that.
