MIA Employee-Handbook Toolkit Available Online

CLEVELAND – The Employee Handbook toolkit from the Marble Institute of America (MIA) is now available online.

Now in the Member’s area of the MIA website, the Employee Handbook toolkit is the third from the group’s Management series to be added to the website in the past several months. Three more will be posted in the next six months.

The Management Toolkit Series provides customizable documents that assist business owners in improving and streamlining business operations. The Employee Handbook toolkit offers a collection of policy options for the development of an employee handbook, as well as guidance on writing style, content to include, review considerations, how to introduce handbooks to employees, what to avoid, and advantages of employee handbooks.

There are also 106 different policies including new employee orientation, sick leave, attendance, and much more. Several options of each policy are provided offering a variety of language to fit the needs of individual stone companies. The forms are in Microsoft Word format and can be modified to meet your company’s specific needs.

“An employee handbook is a crucial communication tool between you and your employees; however, smaller companies often don’t know where to begin,” said Helen Distelhorst, MIA human-resources director. “A well-written handbook sets forth expectations for employees, and describes what they can expect from your company. This guide will assist you in creating an employee handbook for your company.”

“This toolkit ads another valuable document to the online library of references available only to MIA members on the MIA website,” added Jeff Handley, MIA membership services manager.

Companies who desire to obtain the Employee Handbook in a printed, binder format may order it from the MIA bookstore.

MIA members can access the documents online by clicking Members Login on the top right of the MIA website. On the Members’ page, click Customer & Sales Forms Toolkit under Documents and Publications.
