A conversation highlighting key components and potential pitfalls
Massive world events have drastically redefined how workers and workplaces function. Some employers struggle to offer accessible resources for remote or out-of-state staff. This can lead employee handbooks to be negatively perceived as an onboarding relic. Handbooks should be an evolving and accessible resource that highlights a workplace’s vision while offering critical information to staff. Chris Mines is joined by Michael Greene, an employment attorney and senior counsel with Enviva. They discuss the benefits that modern handbooks offer and how clear policies can limit a business's litigation risk. Some of the topics covered in this course include: -The need for robust handbooks and proactive procedures -Incorporating feedback and developing policies with stakeholders -Being compliant in several jurisdictions and accommodating remote workers -An outlook for the months ahead and more! * Disclaimer: Michael's comments are his own opinions and not on behalf of his company.
