Does your business have written staff policies and procedures? Do your staff know how they should behave at work? Do your managers know how to deal with a grievance?
A staff handbook is supplement to your contract of employment and sets out clear standards of behaviour for which you expect your staff to work.
The handbook also documents the procedure for dealing with disciplinary and grievances which shall guide managers through the correct steps in confidence thereby reducing claims for unfair dismissal. Furthermore, an employer would be severely criticised for not having an equal opportunities policy in place particularly when faced with a discrimination claim.
We are experts in preparing staff handbook that follow best practice and are tailored to the needs of your business. We can also incorporate policies and procedures from any existing handbook or prepare you a fresh new Handbook.
