7 Major Reasons why EVERY Organization Needs an Employee Handbook!

You have probably encountered situations in the work place that could have been prevented or even less traumatic if you had written policies in place for them – whether an actual “handbook” or a collection of pages on key topics. This type of prescriptive yet preventative medicine, can also serve as a good business/strategic planning tool for your organization. There are on-going lists of ethical and viable reasons to have written policies in the workplace, but here are the “top” seven (in no particular order):

1. Legal disputes can be avoided later on with a well drafted and enforced employee handbook to stifle accusations to the organization and its management of favoritism; and it can provide clear information on the organization's position against discrimination, retaliation, harassment and providing reporting procedures for any observed violations.

2. An employee handbook helps save you and your managers/supervisors time with having to answer several of the same questions employees ask repeatedly.

3. It is a resource of documented expectations and obligations of the organization, its management and staff.

4. Policies will help with consistency and uniformity in the workplace, as well as minimize or event prevent certain disputes.

5. Improves organizational leadership by keeping the business on track with its mission by taking the time needed to identify with the message and impression you want your employees to have about YOUR organization.

6. Great communication tool for sharing the importance of protecting the company and its employees in times of handling a disaster or sharing your disaster readiness plan, for either natural or manmade disasters.

7. One of the most effective was to inform employees of policy in relations to those items a business is legally obligated to provide anyway. For example: Companies larger than 50 employees must provide information regarding the Family Medical Leave Act to their employees.

Career Connections offers customized employee handbook development to meet the needs and culture of YOUR organization.

Legislative Info

Check here for information on local, state, and national legislative action impacting human resource professionals.

IASHRM Technology

iashrm_tech — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 20:29:54 CST

We are now forming an new IASHRM Technology Committee. Any chapter and/or national member in Iowa may participate. The following openings are available:

1. An IASHRM E-mail List moderator to approve posts and perform minor administrivia – most labor intensive area.

2. An administrator to encourage and assist wiki publishers here at wiki.iashrm.org– probably a bigger commitment at the beginning of calendar year, training new officers.

3. A administrator to create, update, and maintain databases and internal documentation at our WebEx WebOffice site – a big project when all the new membership lists come in, but much less work after the big push. I’d suggest updating once a month, assuming that anyone would send in the information to the Council. UPDATE - 2.13.2008 - Thom Powell has agreed to serve in this role. Thanks, Thom!

If you are interested in serving in one of these roles, of if you know someone in your chapter who would be like to get involved, please call me, Larry Herzog, at 319-277-9260, or E-mail lherzog@sdcdc.com

Southern Iowa District

randywestman — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 15:09:50 CDT

I hope to use this page to update SHRM Chapters in the Southern Iowa District what is going on with the Iowa State Council and also help provide those chapters help and support. I'm new as a District Director so I'm still not sure what I'm doing, or for that matter what I want to be when I grow up.

The Southern Iowa District has 4 chapters: from left to right they are Southwestern Iowa SHRM, Southeast Iowa SHRM (my chapter), Mt. Pleasant HR Association and Mississippi Valley HR Association. We are all fairly small chapters in the world of SHRM but we can have a huge impact for our fellow members since we are able to know each other so well.

This is a good guide for the 2008 Chapter Achievement Plan. SHRM. This is an excellent guide to give you ideas on things you can do to make your chapter a resource for your members. in 2008. Here's the link for the 2008 Planning Workbook. http://www.shrm.org/chapters/resources/08cap_planning_workbook.pdf

If you are new chapter leader you might want to review your chapter by-laws. It might make it easier for you to know what you should be doing or something you should not be doing.

Utilize SHRM's Volunteer Leader Resource Center (VLRC). If you are like me, often there is not enough time to devote to SHRM that you would like. In this center they have already done alot of the work to help you accomplish certain goals so you don't have to reinvent the wheel. It might cut out a lot of time you could spend on other projects.

Finally, there are some meeting programs that I or another SHRM board member could do at your chapter meeting for you. If you are looking for ideas or help please feel free to contact me.
