Not too late for employee resolutions

Even though we're already well into the first month of 2011, it isn't too late for companies to make a few new year's resolutions where their employees are concerned. So says Alva Cross Hughes, an attorney with Fisher & Phillips LLP in Tampa who focuses on labor and employment law.

Here are a few of Hughes' suggestions for employers:

• Revise your employee handbook. Remove outdated policies and consider adding new ones for emerging issues, such as social media. Distribute the updated handbook to all employees and make it readily accessible.
