Upgrade Your Employee Handbook:
The Benefits and Risks of Going Digital

If your employee handbook is still an actual book, you're living in the paper past.

Converting to a digital handbook will cut costs, make updating easier and – most importantly – erase many of the legal dangers associated with paper handbooks. Plus, an e-handbook helps you prove that you trained employees on your policies and what they should do to report harassment, working off the clock and other HR headaches.

But e-handbooks involve more than just transferring written documents into a database. One wrong move can actually inject a host of new legal risks:

• Making the conversion
• Getting signatures as verification of at-will status
• Announcing changes
• Posting on the web or an intranet
• Password management to track access for later use in a lawsuit
• And more!

Discover the best practical and legally smart strategies with Upgrade Your Employee Handbook: The Benefits and Risks of Going Digital. Your trainer, attorney Anniken Davenport, has literally written the book on this subject, Bullet-Proof Your Employee Handbook.

Plus, you'll learn about the potential legal time bombs lurking in the pages of your handbook.

In this fast-paced, 75-minute session, you'll discover everything you need to know about electronic handbooks, including:

• Why you need one and how it will protect you from lawsuits
• The 3 things to fix in your current handbook BEFORE you make the conversion
• Step-by-step process for creating an electronic version – from the HR, management and IT perspectives
• Why you should keep the document password protected and with a unique log-in for each employee (and exactly what that page should say)
• How to properly announce and distribute each new version
• Why you should include quizzes in your e-handbook (plus, discover the 4-question quiz you should REQUIRE employees to take after receiving the handbook link)
• How to track and communicate changes
• What to do if employees have no computer access – or limited language skills
• Proper accessibility standards – especially for disabled employees
