Handbook Development

Client with a need to formalize their policies and procedures, and centralize them in a readily available Employee Handbook.

Issue

Our client recognized the need to establish a more complete Employee Handbook, with the goal of better protecting their business by more completely communicating the policies and procedures of the firm to their employees.

Solution

After the existing Handbook was reviewed issues with existing policies were identified and addressed. A list of missing policies was developed and reviewed, with those desired being added to the existing book. A final draft was produced for review by senior management. Final edits were addressed. The handbook was deployed to all management, who then received brief yet critical training prior to its distribution to the employee population.

Results

Employees received a far more complete understanding of the workplace guidelines. The training resulted in much needed attention towards the more complete enforcement of policies within. Lingering issues were forced to the surface and addressed. The placement of an Employee Handbook Receipt in each personnel file addressed the desire to limit future HR related liabilities.

"Our OI Resource was highly efficient. Her response times were remarkable. In terms of her knowledge of the recruiting field – she was always on top of everything I asked her. She had a wonderful personality and was very easy to talk to / coordinate with. She follows up with everything very quickly, which is hard to find these days. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience with your organization."

"Our OI Resource has been great to work with.  Through my interactions with her, she seems very knowledgeable in her area and able to answer any of my questions.  If we do come across something she doesn’t know off hand, she does a great job of doing the research or asking others at OI, and then getting back to me quickly with a thorough response.  She’s also always available if we need to schedule a call or meeting."

"Chris (the trainer) did an outstanding job presenting the session. The materials provided possessed a wealth of valuable information. I’ve attended other outplacement training but this was by far the best."

Marianne D.

"Our OI resource is truly excellent in her craft and came across as a subject matter expert. She interacted with senior level executives with ease, was creative in her approaches, and demonstrated a tremendous amount of patience, which was critical to her success. Her sourcing techniques went well beyond just posting an opening or surfing the web, reaching out and networking with candidates to find us the best people for the job. "

"To be blunt, our OI resource has done a great job helping us.  I really have no complaints, but I realize we are small and the priority should be less for someone like us, but she has never made us feel that way.  Very responsive and is here when we need her."
