Why Your Company Needs a Handbook

The days of believing that a handbook can cause more harm than good are long gone. In today's business environment, a
handbook serves both as a sword to carve out your legal rights as well as a shield to protect them.

A handbook sets

expectations, encourages employees to behave in certain ways, helps ensure that employees are treated consistently, publicizes employee benefits, and helps win unemployment claims and lawsuits. These are just a few of the reasons why every employer, regardless of the number of employees, should have one.

Establishing Some Baseline Expectations

Employees expect their employer to communicate with them in a straightforward, professional way about all sorts of things. Just having a handbook demonstrates that you understand employees' needs for information - and it can go a long way toward making a positive first impression on a new employee.
