Perk up Your Policies

A complete compensation package makes your company more attractive to prospective employees. The Employee Manual mentions one “perk” (a privilege, gain, or profit incidental to regular salary or wages) like Tuition Reimbursement. In conjunction with preparing your company's customized Employee Manual, take the opportunity to update and formalize your policies and procedures, as well as explore additional benefits your company may offer. Three hot topics for today´s managers are Internet use (and abuse), harassment, and protection of proprietary information. Address these topics in your company´s Employee Manual to avoid problems before they start.
