Deidra Nguyen

Have you ever thought HR might be easier without an employee handbook? Does it really take a manual the size of a phonebook to effectively orient a new hire? Is there any law requiring that we have a handbook? Who reads this stuff anyway?

  • Whether your workplace needs an employee handbook;
  • How a well-crafted handbook improves your business and makes your job easier;
  • How a poorly-drafted handbook could get your business in hot water; and
