⭐ Event Overview
If your employee handbook hasn’t been updated in a while, 2026 is the year to fix it. New regulations, expanded leave requirements, workplace safety mandates, and evolving expectations around remote work and technology mean that outdated handbooks can expose employers to unnecessary risk.
This workshop will outline the most important legal and policy updates for 2026, highlight which sections should be revised, and walk you through the difference between required policies and optional—but highly recommended—best practices. We’ll also discuss how to present information so employees can easily understand and use it.
Ideal for organizations preparing to refresh or rebuild their employee handbook while staying compliant and aligned with current law.
