Everyone knows that having an employee handbook in place is important, but that handbook is of little to no value if the policies contained therein are not regularly updated to comply with changes in the law, the evolving world in which we work, as well as changes in the company's culture and workforce.

In this presentation we will discuss:

Legal updates to handbooks you might not realize you need involving, among other things, new protected categories, changes in leave laws, and the increased number of employees working remotely, including in other states.

Ways to ensure awareness of, and maximize compliance with, the policies, and information contained in the handbook and including policies therein that reflect the changing world and evolving workforce.

Non-legal benefits of handbooks such as a way to roll out and promote DEI initiatives, send a message of the company culture, provide an overview of benefits and perks offered by the company; and highlight corporate responsibility initiatives and opportunities.
