Small business owners and most any employer—regardless of the size of the company—cannot be too careful when it comes to employee matters. Our litigious society encourages people to file lawsuits against their employers for just about every reason. Because of this, employers need to take precaution in all areas of their business.

Taking preventative measures generally starts with thorough human resource planning in Austin or anywhere in Texas. This can include implementing policies and procedures to protect your company. Additionally, HR planning also includes having the right employee documents, agreements, and contracts in place to help achieve your business goals and make your business a success.

What will you gain from having effective human resource planning?

• A minimized risk of employment litigation
• Improved employee morale
• A reduction in employee turnover
• An enforcement of uniform policies and procedures
• Help in achieving business success

With proper human resource planning, you can avoid potential problems through drafting and implementing effective human resource policies. When effective policies are enforced, employees know what is expected from them, and the risk of your business being sued is reduced.

Our Austin business lawyers can assist in reviewing your current HR policies to determine whether your business is protected as much as possible. Our goals are to ensure your company has proper policies in place and to provide you with effective human resource planning to prevent potential employment issues. This is why the saying “the best defense is a good offense” is equally true for employment law.

Policies we can draft include:

• EEO and Non-harassment policies
• Employee review and termination policies
• Privacy policies
• Communication policies
• Equipment use policies
• Confidentiality policies
• And more

By having a strong offense through effective policies that are enforced, you may be able to sidestep employee issues.
