Creating and Maintaining Effective Employee Handbooks for Nonprofits: Best Practices and Legal Compliance

A well-drafted employee handbook should help clarify an employer's expectations, assist in equitable policy enforcement, and ultimately increase employee engagement and morale. Nonprofits should ensure their employee handbooks are up-to-date, reflect the organization's practices, and are compliant with federal, state, and local laws. This in-person workshop will cover the essential elements of creating and maintaining an effective employee handbook, in addition to outlining the obligations it creates for both employers and employees, as well as best practices for drafting and distribution.

Learning Objectives: Participants will gain a clear understanding of the critical policies that should be included in an employee handbook and learn about the obligations it establishes for both employers and employees.

For human resource professionals and other key operational and executive staff.
