Handbooks That Hold Up: Build Policies That Protect & Perform

Presented by

Jessica Crabbe

Scott & Whitehead


February 19, 2026 @ 9:30am


If your handbook hasn't been reviewed recently, it may already be out of compliance.

Employment laws continue to evolve, and handbooks that aren’t regularly reviewed can quickly become outdated—and risky. Handbooks That Hold Up helps employers identify common policy gaps, address high-risk areas, and align handbook language with current legal requirements.

This session goes beyond theory, offering practical guidance on how to update policies so they are clear, compliant, and defensible. Proactive updates today can help prevent confusion, disputes, and costly issues down the road.
