It is important to note that an employee handbook is of little use if employees don’t read it. To facilitate that goal, it is recommended that first of all, the handbook should be pertinent to employees’ needs. Handbooks that are wordy, unclear, or contain unnecessary information will discourage employees from reading them. Consequently, employers should establish feedback mechanisms to assess how useful employees find the employee handbook information, gather input, and make modifications where necessary. HRM should not assume that once developed and disseminated to employees, the employee handbook is final. Rather, it should be updated and refined on a continuous basis. Employers are finding that putting the employee handbook on the company’s intranet is an effective way of making the materials available to employees and allows easy and quick revision when necessary.
