The employee handbook of an organization - a document which contains information about company policies and procedures, published online or in hard copy - is one of the most important communication tools between a company and its employees. Not only does this handbook set forth the company's expectations from its employees, but also describes what they may expect from the company.
The employee handbook is an excellent place to bring together employment and job-related information which employees need to know, such as company expectations and state and federal law compliance information. It can also provide useful source of information to new staff as part of the orientation process. A written employee handbook gives clear advice to employees and creates a culture where issues are dealt with fairly and consistently.
By providing a tool for employees to reference, the employee handbook allows an organization to:
Convey the culture of the organization to employees
Create the operational foundation of the company
Increase the consistency of organizational practices
Promote a sense of perceived fairness, equality, and justice among employees
Help to reduce potential legal disputes which could occur when employees perceive they are being treated unfairly
