HR Seminar --If It isn’t Documented, It Doesn’t Exist--2018

It is becoming more important to accurately and timely document employee expectations and communications.  Not doing the following can be costly to your organization.

• Do you provide new hires with a written job offer letter?
• Do you have a current and compliant employee handbook and signed acknowledgement from all employees?  If not, how can employees be expected to adhere to company policies?
• Do you have current job descriptions?  If not, how can employees be clear on all of their job requirements?
• Do you establish and communicate company and employee goals?  Do you use a regular written performance feedback program?  Employees need and want to know what’s expected of them and how they are doing.
• If you have a performance or attendance problem, do you consistently and timely use a Performance Improvement Plan/Corrective Action document?  Your other employees are watching and waiting to see when you will resolve the issue.
