Mastering the essentials of employee handbooks

Aired: 30 October 2024
Duration: 1 hour

Employee handbooks play an important part of protecting your organization by showing its compliance with federal and state laws. As employment law evolves at a rapid pace, maintaining a comprehensive and up-to-date employee handbook has never been more crucial.

However, 71% of companies responding to the 2024 Brightmine Employee Handbooks Survey found it at least somewhat difficult to keep handbooks in compliance with federal law; more than half also struggle to stay in compliance with state or local laws.

Staying on top of the constantly changing legal environment not only ensures compliance, but it also demonstrates a commitment to best practices and employee well-being.

In this 60-minute webinar, attorney Kate Bischoff, founder of k8bisch, a law and HR consulting firm in Minneapolis, shares strategies for building and maintaining handbooks that safeguard organizations and adhere to compliance requirements. She also explores the risk of not including legally required policies and share best practices for drafting new policies tailored to expanding workforces, including for remote work.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• Key components of an effective employee handbook.
• Ways to update and maintain handbook policies for compliance and relevance.
• Ideas for tracking legal developments that may impact your organization.
• And more!
