Not long ago, a client reached out and asked me to review their employee handbook. When they sent it over, I quickly realized it hadn’t been updated in over 10 years! It was like opening a time capsule — policies that no longer applied, outdated laws, and language that today’s employees would find confusing (at best).
I immediately got to work. I brought the handbook up to current compliance standards, making sure it reflected all the latest employment laws and best practices. At the same time, I reworked the language to make it clear, approachable, and easy for employees at every level to understand.
Handbooks aren’t just a formality — they’re an important tool for protecting both the company and its employees. That’s why I always recommend reviewing and updating employee handbooks every 1 to 2 years. Laws change, workplace expectations evolve, and your handbook should keep pace to stay effective.
If your handbook feels like it belongs in a museum, it might be time for a refresh — and I’m always happy to help.
