How to Develop an Employee Policy Manual that Fits Your Company Culture

Why Should You Attend:

Topic Background:

One of the best ways to communicate and understand a company and its culture is through its employee policy manual. By reading the manual you can tell what the organization expects from its employees, the degree of control and independence, and what is important in its culture. It gives guidelines in a unbiased manner; advising employees what applies to them and helping new employees assimilate to their new surroundings. It also serves as a management tool for supervising employees laying out clear ground rules for situations.
