Advice for creating an employee handbook

A handbook is one of the first sources of information an employee receives to understand the "rules of engagement" (ROE) with their employer. It is a "legal document" that will govern how an employer can proactively address baseline employee relations issues as well as convey the culture of the organization. I can share with you a recent handbook I created for company in southern California. Rolling it out should be part of a cohesive communication/training plan that includes email from senior leadership introducing it, training performance managers on how to interpret/use/aid them in managing employee inquiries about related policies, and to have it be a dynamic document that is accessible online and kept current to reflect up to date changes in policies. Hope this helps.
