“We know how daunting it can be to create your employee manuals from scratch, and you shouldn’t have to reinvent the wheel. That’s why we’ve added many of the policies that our customers have requested and improved the interface to make it easier for busy managers and owners to take care of this essential need,” said TemplateZone president Jim Kinlan.

The new version of the Office Policy Manual software features an expanded selection of electronic policies (or e-policies) that allow employers to best define the use of new technologies. For instance, blogging is a powerful way to communicate to both clients and internal groups, but how can a company make sure that confidential material stays confidential? Office Policy Manual 2006 features easy-to-understand blogging policies that make it a snap to clearly define what can and can not be discussed. Office Policy Manual 2006’s definitive blogging policy set can make sure that a company and its employees are both on the same page when it comes to keeping their competitive edge.

“Blogging is just one aspect that is covered by the new policies we’ve created with help from experts in human resources, information technology, finance, and psychology.” Jim Kinlan noted. “Cell phone usage rules, instant messaging policies, military leave, and Homeland Security and emergency preparedness procedures have also been added along with even more job descriptions. This is a complete package for just about any business needing to make sure everyone’s on the same page.”

In addition to a wide selection of pre-written policies, Office Policy Manual 2005 features a built-in PDF publisher. The PDF publisher can be used to convert the Microsoft Word-based employee handbook into an Adobe-standard PDF format, for electronic distribution. Publishing the employee manual to PDF format benefits the company in many ways, primarily through the format’s easy distribution possibilities; the file can be placed on a web server as well, sent directly to the employees via email, or printed out in an easy-to-understand format.

Office Policy Manual 2006 also provides an increased selection of standalone human resources forms, US Department of Labor workplace posters in PDF format, and in informative 20-page eBook entitled “How To Write A Policy Manual” that will help users better reach their goal of a clearly-written, concise employee manual.

As an added incentive, customers who purchase Office Policy Manual 2006 will receive a copy of OrgChart Professional software. OrgChart Professional is the best way to organize, manage and keep pace with your people, resources, and accounts, allowing you to choose the form you need from dozens of professionally designed templates or create a customized layout according to your preferences.
