Salisbury, MD – The Insurance Market and IMHR will host an upcoming Risk Academy educational session titled “Employee Handbooks 101: Is Your Handbook Living in 2019?” on May 20, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. EST.
Employee handbooks are more than just a collection of workplace policies. A well-written and updated handbook is an important risk management tool that helps organizations communicate expectations, maintain compliance, reduce liability exposure, and support a consistent workplace culture.
During this session, attendees will learn:
- Why employee handbooks matter from a risk management perspective and how they protect businesses beyond basic compliance
- Key policies every handbook should include and common gaps that create exposure for employers
- How to ensure handbooks align with federal and state laws while still reflecting company culture and operations
- Best practices for implementation, communication, and consistent enforcement to avoid claims and employee relations issues
The session will be presented by Heather Parsons, MBA, SHRM-CP, PHR, CWCS, HR Consultant with IMHR and People & Operations Manager at The Insurance Market.
Risk Academy is an educational series hosted by The Insurance Market focused on helping organizations reduce risk through proactive business, insurance, safety, and human resources strategies.
