Employee Handbook
We cater for start-ups and maturing organisations developing bespoke traditional standard, and or creative employee handbooks and drafting of company policies and procedures.
Why is it important to have an employee handbook?
An employee handbook paints a picture of what you expect from your team and gives them the structure they need to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Providing a clear outline of your policies and procedures and employee rights and responsibilites. It gives them insight into your company culture and what you expect from your team as well as serving as evidence that your employees have been informed of your rules should you find yourself at the CCMA.
So yes it is not a legal requirement to draft and implement a handbook but rather it serves as a best practice to have one in your arsenal of HR tools.
Catering for start-ups and maturing organisations we develop bespoke legally compliant employee handbooks in both traditional and creative formats and draft individual policies and procedures supporting you as your business grows to the next level.
