Don’t Leave Here Without These: The 10 Essential HR Policies Every Workplace Needs (and Why)
The workplace has become an increasingly complex environment. In response, employers have created more and more policies. Many policies mirror or respond to requirements under state or federal laws. Others are an outgrowth of cultural changes or best practices. While employers vary in size and nature of their operations and therefore they need to tailor their policies and practices to their unique organization, there are some essential policies every employer should have. This session will review those policies, why they are essential and how employers will benefit from adopting them.
