Staff-Line Services: Employee Relations

Improved communications result in improved employee relations. Staff-Line helps its clients improve employee relations by providing human resource expertise and techniques that improve communication, resolve conflict, and ensure clear direction.

Employee Communications & Publications
Staff-Line provides a customized employee handbook for each of its clients. We either create a new employee handbook based on the client’s policies or we review and if necessary update their existing handbook. We regularly review the employee handbook for compliance with any changes to labor law. Each employee is provided with a copy of an employee handbook. An acknowledgement of receipt is sent to Staff-Line and kept on file. We also provide and annually review labor postings.

• employee handbook compliance review and revisions
• handbook acknowlegements
• required postings

EPLI
EPLI (Employer Practices Liability Insurance) protects against lawsuits arising from employment practices. Discrimination is an example of an employment action that could create a serious problem. Staff-Line’s clients and employees are covered under our EPLI policy. This affords them a level of protection against unforeseen and unintended liabilities. Coverage details are governed by the insurance policy.

Attitude Surveys
Employee attitude impacts productivity and performance. Staff-Line can help develop and administer attitude surveys which provide valuable information about the workplace. This information can be used to improve morale and to avoid devoting resources to places where they will not have a positive impact.
