What is the legal language you must include \u2013 and how do you get the policies in everyone\u2019s hands?\r\n\r\nThe new Company Policies Smart App<\/a> provides an affordable electronic solution for small businesses to create and implement workplace policies. For 20+ years, over 800 customers have relied on HRdirect\u2019s Gradience Handbook Manager<\/a> to pull together a comprehensive policy manual.

Furthermore, it provides confirmation when employees have received and reviewed policies.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nUltimately, the Company Policies app lets you move your policy process to the cloud for maximum efficiency and convenience.\r\n\r\n\r\n
