Developing an Employee Manual
The Employee Manual is the set of policies and procedures regarding personnel matters. Putting together an employee manual can be a great way to address a range of employee benefits and requirements that might otherwise go unnoticed until a crisis emerges.
Listen to a panel of Count Me In experts as they discuss the merits of Employee Manuals.
Rosalyn Taylor O'Neale, Entrepreneur, recommends that a company create an employee manual before the fourth person is hired, seeing that as a critical juncture for determining policies and procedures. (In the video, she briefly interacts with the panel moderator, Isisara Bey of CMI.)
Margery Miller, PeopleBiz, talks about taking an existing template and customizing it to suit your needs.
Carolyn Sawyer, Tom Sawyer Company, reminds business owners to update and tweak the policies as you grow, and to be creative and flexible in your approach to policy-setting.
