31 Aug Employee Handbook Policy and Procedure
Objective: Explain the importance of a properly crafted Employee Handbook as the first policy and procedure manual presented to onboarding employees.
For this assignment, you will create a section of the policy and procedure manual, Employee Handbook. Every new onboarding employee should receive a well-written employee handbook in the first week of the job, preferably the first day. The handbook includes information including dress code, paid time off, and termination.
Imagine that you are leading a healthcare organization. You will write one section of an employee handbook for your organization. Choose from the following five sections:
- Dress code
- Anti-discrimination policy
- Anti-harassment policy
- Substance-free workplace policy
- Taking disciplinary action
Compose the section exactly as it would be included in the employee handbook. Do not copy and paste something from another employee handbook. Create your own.
- Include a handbook cover page. Your cover page should reflect the type of organization you are representing.
- Be sure to identify the size and type of organization you are writing the policy for.
- In addition, provide one to two paragraphs explaining the importance of employee policies as outlined in an employee handbook.
