Do we need an Employee Handbook
?

Yes, although not required by law, a handbook that describes your policies will give your business a measure of protection and will also lessen your exposure to liability.

Are we vulnerable to harassment or discrimination claims
?
You could be.  If you are not complying with requirements to inform employees of their rights, or if you are not communicating your policies, and acting promptly when a complaint arises.


Are our policies outdated?

They may be if you haven’t reviewed them in a while.  Employment law and the workplace itself are changing frequently and businesses need to stay current and stay competitive.
 

How do we hang on to our best employees? 
If you are having a lot of turnover, exit interviews may help identify the reason.  If your best employees are leaving you may need to review your compensation plan, or your employee recognition practices.  Money is not always the best motivator, most of all employees want to feel appreciated and valued.
