Jackie Wells Smith, Founder and Editor

Your Employee Handbook has been helping small businesses with human resources management for more than ten years. In recent years we’ve been endorsed by the Wisconsin Builders Association, the Uniform Retailer’s Association, The Pizza Times, Restaurant News, and Entrepreneur magazine. We been declared the best small business employee handbook by Fortune Small Business Magazine and Website.

First of all, we’re human resources management experts, with a particular expertise in producing employee handbooks.

Our principal writer and editor, Jackie Wells Smith, has 30 years of experience in human resources management at executive levels with a variety of businesses, including:

• Human resources consultant for small retailers and professional services firms, including consultants and professional firms, retail stores, design and marketing studios, manufacturers and contractors.
• Human Resources Manager with a multi-branch savings and loan association.
• Personnel Director with a national public services organization with offices in all 50 states.
• Director of Human Resources for a large, multi-state tire and auto service retail chain.
• YourEmployeeHandbook.com developer and consultant since 1998.
• Routinely called on for interviews by major publications for advice on human resources management for specialty operations.

Secondly, although geographically we’re located in the Metro Atlanta area, we partner with some of the nation’s finest consultants and attorneys in human resources practices to verify that our product is up to the best standards of the industry.

Policies and procedures are based in real-world practicalities

And third, we’ve written Your Employee Handbook to be accessible to the regular employee.

Too many times we’ve read policy manuals that are so legalistic and so concerned with covering every point to the employer’s advantage that the company sounds hostile to its employees. We feel this is not the way to relate to employees, especially new employees just getting a feel for your company through reading your policy manual. We write and edit our policies to cover all the legal and regulatory bases and adhering to the industry’s best practices. Then we take an extra step: we re-edit each policy to make it readable, understandable, and positive in presenting the company — your company.

Constant improvements and free updates

And last, but not least, we’re continually updating and improving the entire Your Employee Handbook package. Our member’s website has content added to the public and private areas or the site continually, and we’re always reviewing policies to make certain they’re current with new employment law. In short, unlike many publishers who put up a handbook site and barely touch it again, you can be assured there are real people behind our site, working each day to improve the product for you. Just call or e-mail us — a real person will answer your questions.

Your Employee Handbook, and its writers, editors, and other staffers, work hard to make this the best value you can find for managing your employees better. We hope we can help you.
