Employee Handbooks: Read ’em and Weep?!
We hope not! But it can be difficult to ensure you include in a handbook everything you want to cover, exclude any unintended consequences, and end with a deliverable that employees will actually read. As we wrap up the year and consider updating some employment policies for next year, this program will review some actual cases and lessons learned in the last 13 months (since this topic last aired) and proactive tips for 2026. Topics will include and are not limited to employer policies (and practices) addressing:
- Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
- Professional Conduct & Civility
- Military Leave
- (Un)Paid Leave / LOA: Accrual, Use & RTW
- Proactive Practices and Pitfalls to Avoid
- Plus, some of the usual suspects and YOUR questions submitted in advance!
