Handbooks: Necessary or Necessary Evil?

  A well-written handbook can be a helpful tool in assisting with an organization's day-to-day activities, as well as an effective legal defense in case of litigation, but a poorly written handbook that contains "legalese" language that is confusing or limits an employer's flexibility or offers out-of-date or un-followed policies can be an employer's worst enemy. This workshop offers a structured process for developing and/or reviewing a handbook.

    Topics covered in this course include: the pros and cons of employee handbooks; common pitfalls; resources available for developing handbooks; and legal issues that should be covered

This course has been pre-approved for California credits towards PHR-CA and SPHR-CA.
