Company Handbook

A company handbook can be a great asset to your organisation providing information for new and experienced employees alike. It can provide information regarding the aims and objectives of your business as well as guidance on employment rights. This helps both management and employees to understand the expected standards.

Company handbooks can also be useful during the process of recruiting and inducting new staff, ensuring that they receive the basic information they require.

Although you do not legally have to provide a company handbook , it may be helpful to refer to such a document within the employment contract. In this way supplementary procedural information such as holiday booking or sickness reporting can still be provided while avoiding the need for a lengthy contract.

Finally, it is important that consideration is given to the style and layout so that it reflects the culture of your organisation in a readily accessible format. It is worth remembering that employees tend only to refer to their handbook when they commence work with your organisation and when there is a problem or query. In these instances it is important that they can find the answers to their questions easily.
