GTM Payroll & HR to host Webinar: Policy with Purpose: Building Employee Handbooks That Work



An employee handbook is more than a compliance document. It’s one of your most powerful tools for shaping workplace culture, managing risk, and communicating clearly with your employees.

That's why on Wednesday, May 21, at 2 p.m., I'll host an online presentation "Policy with Purpose: Building Employee Handbooks That Work."

Our HR consulting team has worked on dozens and dozens of employee handbooks for our clients.

Based on this hands-on experience, you'll see how smart HR teams are turning their handbooks into a tool that helps their people and their business.

✅ Why handbooks are essential, even when not legally required
✅ How they support compliance with evolving federal, state, and local laws
✅ What policies and notices must be included today
✅ How to use your handbook to set expectations and enforce accountability
✅ The risks of outdated or incomplete handbooks
✅ What’s new in 2025, from paid prenatal leave to electronic monitoring laws

Whether you’re building a handbook from scratch or updating an existing one, this presentation will equip you with the knowledge to make it a meaningful asset and not just a formality.

I hope you can join us.
