If there’s ever a time to rethink your handbook, it’s now. The timeliness has less to do with the 2026 year, the obvious time to roll out a replacement handbook, and more to do with the wave of changes that recently swept the workplace based on the change in administration and their updated policies, including the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
For 2026, employee handbook updates should focus on adapting to new laws, integrating AI policies, and aligning with evolving workforce expectations through strategies like regular reviews, clear communication, and proactive compliance measures. Key areas for revision include updating payroll and benefits to reflect new legislation like the OBBB Act, incorporating guidelines for the use of artificial intelligence, and making sure policies for hybrid work, pay transparency, and employee well-being are current and clearly communicated.
Key Topics Covered:
  • Integrate AI and technology policies
  • Enhance and communicate employee benefits and well-being
