Expert recommendations for your handbook.

Regardless of the size of your organization an employee handbook is a must have. With employment laws changing rapidly, it can be overwhelming to keep an employee handbook current (or create one from scratch) without the assistance of a human resources expert. At LJ Consulting we bring years of experience to your customized employee handbook needs.

Why does my organization
need an employee handbook?

There are several reasons your organization should have an employee handbook:

  • Helps defend against legal claims
  • Ensures your organization’s human resources policies and practices are clearly and consistently communicated
  • Introduces employees to your organization’s culture, mission, and values
  • Showcases the benefits you offer
  • Ensures legal compliance with federal, state, and local laws
  • Communicates to employees what is expected of them
  • Lets employees know where to turn for help

How LJ Consulting can
help your business.

Linda specializes in employee handbooks (creation from scratch and review/ updating of current handbooks) for small nonprofit and for-profit organizations. During a handbook project, we work closely with clients to understand their organization’s unique policies and practices which will be incorporated into a customized employee handbook. We will recommend best practices, as appropriate, and ensure the handbook reflects legal requirements (federal, state and local). At the end of the project, a turnkey, professional and compliant employee handbook will be delivered to the client.

If you are in need of creating or updating your employee handbook, I highly recommend working with Linda.”
