Benefits, work place safety, e-policy,
confidentiality, vacation ...

However much technology progresses people remain a company’s most valuable and challenging resource. The importance of developing, managing and controlling the employee relationship cannot be overemphasised. It can, however be time consuming, at times it can be frustrating and often not a priority!  Like most employers, you (or people who work for you) devote a good part of every day relaying information or making decisions about employee time off, benefits and disciplinary problems.  Some issues are dealt with very quickly, others need more serious consideration.  You catch yourself being inconsistent, not sure about a policy, the employment law, not having enough time.  Furthermore, you find that it is difficult to discipline employees for something that was not spelt out to them.

You know it's time you invested in an Employee Handbook

Ithaki Consulting can help you create a comprehensive employee handbook describing the benefits and responsibilities of the employment relationship. An Employee Handbook is an indispensable workplace tool that helps you communicate and manage your employees. Employees need to know the rules of the environment in which they work. The Employee Handbook informs the employees what the company expects from them and what they can expect from the company.  In addition to relaying basic information about benefits, hours and dress code, the employee handbook can impart your company’s culture, values, history and vision.

Increase employee trust 

Employee Handbooks promote positive employee relationships ensuring that all your employees get treated consistently and fairly.  They prevent misunderstanding, confusion and complaints by giving everyone in your workplace the same resource for learning your personnel practises. If there is any dispute or doubt one can simply refer to the handbook.

 Minimise disputes between managers and employees
 No need for agonising discussions or reinventing the wheel

Employee handbooks are an enormous aid to induction, as they provide consistent, clear information that a new employee can read before commencing employment. 

The process of creating an employee handbook can be a cleansing exercise resulting in clearer employment practices.  The thorough research of current practises can reveal policies and procedures out of date, conflicting, unproductive, destructive to team work, unsupportive to organisational structure, incomprehensible and some even unsafe!
