A System to Effectively Manage Your Employees
Your Employee Handbook is more than a collection of employee policies.
When originally written, it was intended to be a procedure guide for a small firm with a few supervisors. Each supervisor needed to perform human resources functions for their department, since there was no central HR professional.
We wrote a handbook that would not only describe the personnel policies of the company, but also explain how to administer them fairly to all employees. This included:
- How to keep proper employee records
- How to document employment events, such as hiring, disciplinary action, and evaluations and promotions
- How to conduct and document performance reviews
- How to answer questions about job duties, safety policies and conduct expectations
Each employee had a copy of the handbook for reference on matters such as vacations, holidays, promotions and disciplinary actions.
Each supervisor also had a copy of the handbook, plus the Supervisor’s Guide, which explained how to administer the policies. A complete set of forms and instructions were provided to keep everything properly documented.
With all of these elements in place, employee performance, conduct, changes in status and benefits information and changes were properly and neatly documented, without the need for a full-time personnel manager or hours of valuable supervisory time consumed.
That simple handbook grew into Your Employee Handbook, a complete reference for small businesses. Each policy is supplemented with any necessary forms and supervisor’s instructions to help implement the policies properly.
Your Employee Handbook is the perfect resource for small business owners seeking a complete solution to employee management and communications.
