Employee Handbook: How to Use It

So now you have a nifty handbook created and distributed to your employees.

In order to make this a useful and effective management tool I suggest the following:

Review the Handbook content in detail with new employees. Answer all questions thoroughly.

Become expertly knowledgeable of the Handbook contents. Problem employees will, I can guarantee you.

Refer to the Handbook when issues with employees arise as a standard for behavior and a guide for resolution.

Keep Handbook current. This is very important.

Refer to the Handbook when interfacing with employees.

Include a Handbook review as part of any employee communications presentations you may have.

As updates and new versions occur, have employees complete a new Receipt and Acknowledgement..

The handbook can be a great tool in your management toolbox if you use it properly.
