Thriving Employees

As your workplace adjusts to a world rocked by the pandemic, a quick look at your HR policies and procedures may find them out of touch with this new reality. After all, it was likely written in a pre-pandemic world that didn’t take into account employees working remotely or the steps employers are obligated to take to keep employees safe while at work.

Risk and Consequences

Employers who don’t take steps to tighten up their HR policies and procedures create all sorts of unnecessary risks and liability down the road:

Risk

Sickness policies are outdated
Health and safety protocol is outdated
Remote working protocol doesn’t exist or is inaccurate

Consequence

Sick employees come into the workplace, fear of missing out on pay, or tasks
Potential to infect co-workers
Productivity, morale and mental health suffer
Employees who don’t feel supported may leave the role

Safer and Productive

An expertly crafted, clearly written and well-communicated employee handbook that takes into account the realities of COVID-19 unleashes a slew of benefits:
