Why You Should Consider Updating Your Employee Handbook in 2023

A well-written and up-to-date employee handbook is an important tool in your HR and legal toolbox. The employee handbook is the first place employees, managers, HR, and legal professionals look to for information about the company’s policies. It is also the company’s first line of defense in litigation. It should not be a surprise that California has many required policies and unique laws that govern the employment relationship. Employers cannot rely solely on a nationwide handbook to fulfill their obligations under California law. This month’s webinar will address California’s required policies and updates for existing policies, as well as practical tips for using the employee handbook as a tool in performance management.
