Management Recruiter Releases List of 8 Benefits Employers Get from Employee Manual

Los Angeles, CA, November 30, 2007 --(PR.com)-- The People Link, an executive recruitment agency located in Los Angeles (http://www.thepeoplelink.com), has released a list of 8 benefits that employers will get from having an employee manual. According to the company, an employee manual is a document that provides employees with specific information about a company’s human resources policies, such as vacation policy, statutory holidays, health insurance, pay day and so on. The list of benefits of having an employee manual includes:

1. The manual set company policy regarding all aspects of company standards for employee relations and benefits provided.
2. It keep employees informed and motivated by having clear workplace rules. The manual should clearly state what is expected from employees in regard to employee behavior.
3. The manual legally protects the company with regard to Federal and State compliance.
4. The manual would be a key element in indoctrinating new employees about the organization’s policies and procedures.
5. An employee manual answers questions like: "Is this a drug free company?" "What happens if I get injured on the job?" and "How do I report inappropriate behavior such as sexual harassment?"
6. Having an informative and easily understood manual or handbook will help avoid costly lawsuits. Unnecessary headaches and legal disputes can be avoided if organizations realized the value of having an up-do-date employee manual.
7. A good employee manual will address issues before they become a situation.
8. Protection of company’s assets, trade secrets, inventions and other proprietary information should be clearly spelled out.

Mya Borgman, CEO of The People Link, stated “Your most valuable asset is your employees. A well-written manual is a management tool to generate harmony between the employer and the employees. Positive employee relations can create an environment of open communication, trust - all resulting in increased productivity. Employees don’t like surprises - they want to know the ‘rules of the workplace’. The handbook will tell them everything that they need to know about the workplace rules as well as benefits provided such as health insurance that will also affect their families. Sound policies that are easily understood will engender loyalty and longevity on the job. One size certainly does not fit all. You need to customize the manual to your unique circumstances. The manual should be a professionally written document that is 100% legally correct. The labor laws vary by state, so be sure to get your manual checked by an attorney. A good management recruiter can help advise you.”
