Employee Communication
Employee Handbook
Vision HR will create a customized employee handbook to be distributed to your employees. Designed to communicate your policies and procedures, this tool helps provide direction to your employees and protection for management. Additionally, this manual will assure compliance with applicable Federal and State Statutes.
As employment law and company policy changes, updates to reflect that change are necessary. Your handbook, under the care of Vision HR, is a living document as Vision HR will continue to update and have employees sign off on changes to keep your employee handbook current.
Why an Employee Handbook is Important
An employee handbook is your best option to communicate employment laws, expectations of the employer, corporate culture, policies and procedures and most importantly it’s the first line of defense in most employee related litigation.
Creating an employee handbook is only half the battle. You must also enforce the policies and procedures in your employee handbook fairly and consistently. If you don’t, a court could determine that your employee handbook is not worth the paper that it is printed on. By partnering with Vision HR’s experts, you have the support to ensure you get the right answers when dealing with employee issues.
Policies and Procedures
Vision HR experts are able to create custom, compliant policies and procedures for employees. Examples of some popular policies:
- Social Media / Blogging
- Inclement Weather
- Internet usage at work
- Cell phone usage at work
- Gas cards / company car
- Vacation, sick and or PTO (Paid time off)
Compliant Procedure
Vision HR client employees have the option, with client management approval to anonymously communicate complaints about a manager, another employee or business to HR experts. Vision HR then reports back to the appropriate member of management so the issue can begin to get resolved with as much anonymity as possible. Vision HR, as a 3rd party, frequently can resolve issues more effectively not being tied directly to the situation.
Exit Interviews
Exit interviews are an opportunity for the organization and management to understand why employees leave. An exit interview can uncover the reasons employees become dissatisfied with their job; whether it is wages, working conditions, policies or lack of competitiveness with other employers. The exit interview can reveal red flag issues regarding intent to pursue legal action, harassment within the organization or other problems that may cause additional issues in the future. Vision HR conducts exit interviews with approval and direction from senior management.
