Customized
Employee Handbooks
Schulist
Interests works with clients to design and develop customized
employee handbooks that clearly state company policies,
procedures and benefits for current and newly hired
employees. For clients with franchisee or member/dealers,
Schulist Interests will also design generic employee
handbooks based on current federal law.
Schulist
Interests guides clients through the creation of a customized
employee handbook. The process involves:
- Initial meeting with the employer using a questionnaire
to discuss over 70 potential policies, including federal and state requirements and other optional
- Creating a first draft of the handbook for client
review
- Second client meeting to clarify and approve
employee benefits and policies
- Identifying policies for employee signature on
issues such as substance abuse, employee search, e-mail
and anti-harassment
- Preparing a checklist to be used as a guide for
Employee Orientation
- Assisting the employer in presenting the new
or updated handbook to current employees
- Remaining available for one (1) year after implementation
to answer questions arising from the new handbook

Customer
Satisfaction Surveys

Customer
feedback is critical in building repeat business and
continued organizational growth. Customer satisfaction
surveys tap into your most important information source-your

Merger
and Acquisition Surveys
In today's economy, unprecedented numbers of domestic
and global mergers and acquisitions are taking place.
Large companies are merging to gain greater competitive
advantage. Smaller companies are acquiring and being
acquired in hopes of entering new markets and enjoying
economies of scale. What is important to remember is
that buyers do not just purchase hard assets, but human
assets as well, and this transition is key to the future
success of the new company.
The
involvement of a human resource expert often means the
difference between a successful or failed merger. In
fact, careful planning and integration of HR issues
during a merger or acquisition is clearly linked to
meeting key business objectives. A properly conducted
due diligence process goes far beyond examining financial
records.
Schulist Interests utilizes an Employment Audit Checklist
to identify and manage potential labor and employment
issues during and after the transition. We also conduct
Employee and Customer Surveys to identify issues and
concerns of both groups. Using this feedback, we help
the employer design a game plan to address these areas.
Schulist Interests then conducts a follow-up survey
six months after the merger or acquisition is complete
to measure improvement and attitudes of employees and
customers.
