Make-and-Take Human Resource Handbook

---

FOR DENTISTS AND FRONT OFFICE STAFF

Limited to 50 attendees. You must be able to bring your own laptop.

Creating an employee handbook is a great way to communicate expectations to your staff, but it goes far beyond that. A well-written handbook can be a lifesaver when it comes to managing difficult situations such as suspected substance abuse in the workplace, harassment claims, requests for accommodations or leave of absence, basic confidentiality, and social media do’s and don’ts. However, due to the time involved in creating and/or updating a handbook, many well-intentioned dentists and office managers go without. Until now. …

This Make-and-Take HR Handbook Workshop will guide you through what should and should not be included in your employee manual, and then will provide the necessary time for you to create/update your own handbook in the same day, so you leave with a finished product in your hand! This is a unique opportunity to collaborate with others in the group and benefit from input from the MDA’s trusted human resources expert, Jodi Schafer. Due to the nature of this workshop, space is limited — so register today!

Learning objectives:

• Learn what should be included in your handbook.
• Ensure compliance with Michigan’s new Earned Sick Time Act.
• Discover ways to use the employee handbook easily and efficiently.
• Leave with a draft handbook!

Access to and instructions for the Michigan Dental Association’s electronic Staff Matters^® handbook template will be provided to each participant in advance of the course.
