Home > Don't Leave Here Without These: 10 Essential Workplace Policies and Why Every Employer Needs Them

SHRM 2017 Annual Conference & Exposition
This session will review the essential policies every organization should have, why they are essential and how you will benefit from adopting them.
PowerPoints/Handouts Available

In response to an increasingly complex environment, employers have created more and more policies. Many policies mirror or respond to requirements under state or federal laws. Others are an outgrowth of cultural changes or best practices. Even though employers vary in size and nature of their operations,  there are some essential policies every employer should have. This session will:   

  • Illustrate how these policies interact or complement others. 
  • Discuss the legal basis for these policies. 
  • Help you understand the risks of not having these policies.
