WRITING AN EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK
One of our consultants will review all the current procedures and polices your organisation may already have in place. Once this has been done we will outline what your organisation employee handbook will need to include. Each element will have its own set of specific procedures and an appropriate policy. Once we have drafted your handbook it can then be reviewed to ensure it covers all elements appropriate to your organisation. Your employee handbook can then be periodically reviewed and amended to reflect any changes.
