Sexual Harassment - A written declaration of your company's commitment to prevent sexual harassment is not sufficient.
You need to spell it out clearly and you must state in no uncertain terms the penalties for ignoring this policy - accidentally or on purpose. You may also be required to conduct annual training of your staff.
Employee Recruitment and Retention - The number of wrongful discharge suits more than doubled in the 1980s (when landmark legislation was first introduced) and it continues to grow today. Most of these suits are completely avoidable if. if your company has recruitment policies that follow certain guidelines. At the same time, the cost of a "bad hire" can exceed $20,000.
Do you know what these guidelines are?
Diversity - Our country's demographics are constantly shifting. It's not just race, gender, and cultural diversity you must be concerned about. It's also generational diversity that you must be concerned about. Boomers, Gen-Xers, and Millennials are all present in your workforce. Each group has its strengths and its sensitivities. Further, over 20% of today's workforce was not born in the USA. This creates the need to understand different cultures, work ethics and communications issues.
Let us help you navigate the diversity minefield.
Forms - Do you have all the information you need on your employment forms? Too much? Too little? Do your forms meet current state and federal guidelines?
The complex field of human resources management is VERY forms intensive and your compliance may hinge on using the approved forms. You could solve this need by purchasing all of our 2500 forms (even if they only cost $1 each, it would be quite an investment) or your can pick and choose (and modify) the correct form from
our on-line selection.
Company Handbook - You Need One!
Keeping policies and procedures well documented is important even for the smallest of firms. It is a must for businesses with 50 or more employees.
If you don't have an employee handbook you're at great risk. Some providers will charge you $3,000 or more for a customized handbook. Or, you could
make it for FREE with V-CORE.
Laws and Regulations - Are you aware that Federal Laws hold you responsible for the health and safety of your employees - NO MATTER WHERE THEY ARE WORKING - including their own homes, if they are telecommuters. Would a quick summary of each law in basic English be of value?
