When you think of an employee manual, you probably think of a rigorous handbook that weighs a ton. But, employee manuals have come a long way since then and can prove to be incredibly useful in our businesses.
We often hear of CEO’s in the entrepreneurial world who are reluctant or even fearful of dealing with people issues. Rather than overcoming those fears, they keep them bottled up and stay in the chaotic mode of overwhelm far longer than they should. Little do they know that a lot of their problems can be solved with help from an employee manual that includes a few key HR policies. An employee manual can provide you with the confidence to answer your team’s questions while also empowering your team to discover their own answers inside its pages.
On this episode of the podcast, Shelli Warren talks to Niki Ramirez about why an employee manual is one of your most powerful tools as a CEO. Niki is the Founder and Principal Consultant at HRAnswers.org, a firm dedicated to providing progressive, practical human resources and guidance that leaves an impact on small business success.
