Create (or Tune-Up) your Employee Handbook  

 

An Employee Handbook allows you to establish sound, consistent employment expectations for the employees in your organization, while ensuring compliance with any applicable state and federal employment lawEmployee Handbooks allow companies to:
 
Clarify your expectations for professional conduct and performance with your employees;    
-  Train your employees in your expectations of their conduct and performance;

-  Maintain accountability with employees who act inappropriately in your company;

-  Ensure compliance with federal and state employment law, insurance and professional liability requirements; and

-  Project and maintain a professional workplace for your employees.

 

Employee Handbooks are a business necessity for all companies and can help protect you from employment liability and wrongful employment actions - which can cost you thousands of dollars!

 

Employee handbooks allow you to be PRO-ACTIVE in communicating a professional image to your employees about dress code, customer service, hours of operation, time schedules, requesting time-off, and many more issues in employment!   By having an employee handbook, you provide a consistent, uniform set of guidelines that allows you to manage the human resource issues in your practice effectively and efficiently.

The Carrot Principle
   
by Jessica Miller-Merrell: PayScale Blogger
 

The Carrot Principle unwraps one of the most in-depth management studies ever undertaken. Involving nearly 200,000 people over a ten-year period, it showed that the most central characteristic of any successful manager is that they offer frequent and effective recognition to their employees on an ongoing basis. Productivity skyrocketed when managers took a hands-on approach to constructive praise and gave small, yet meaningful, rewards that motivate employees.

 

According to the book, the missing ingredient in the workplace is an accelerator.  This so-called ingredient is supposed to bridge the gap between untapped potential within teams in the workplace. The biggest workplace accelerator is purpose-based recognition. As Generation Y slowly makes it into the workplace, this accelerator is not just a way to drive company success, but it's necessary in order for this generation to feel appreciated.

 

Motivating and encouraging employees to be successful in their role is just a small part of activating your workplace to obtain the highest level of productivity.
