Employee Handbooks Update: NLRB’s Memorandum, Critical Policies and Procedures in 2023

Employee Handbooks in 2023


A nationwide survey of organizations revealed that while they use employee handbooks to
address key business, legal, and talent management issues, they often limit the effectiveness of
their handbook policies by using ineffective employee handbook practices. As the survey report
noted, in many organizations there is a disconnect between the drafting and issuing of
handbook policies and the practices that ensure those policies address critical issues and are
effectively implemented. This disconnect can lead to missed business goals, increased legal
action, and the loss of critical talent.
Employee handbooks are a critical tool in providing important information about your
organization to employees. Employee handbooks typically describe what you expect of your
employees and what your employees can (should) expect from you. Employee handbooks also
provide critical information about your organization and your workplace, and how your
employees are expected to fit in.
Employee handbooks further formalize mutual expectations. In delineating these expectations,
employee handbooks create opportunities and risks. Handbooks provide your organization with
the opportunity to enhance the value of its human capital, make your organization more
competitive, and improve individual and organizational performance. Conversely, handbooks
can impede the achievement of business objectives, increase employment related liabilities, and
reduce managerial prerogatives by making promises or commitments to certain procedural
safeguards that your organization did not intend to make.
As noted in a memorandum from a former General Counsel of the NLRB: “…incorrectly
designed employee handbooks can violate the law and have a ‘chilling effect’ on employees’
activities.”
Thus, while your employee handbook provides you with the opportunity to make your workforce
more committed and supportive of organizational goals, it can also unfortunately serve as the
basis for employees’ legal action and can significantly reduce employees’ commitment to your
organization’s success.

Join us this April to learn about the policies and procedures you need to comply with in 2023
