What is an employee handbook?

An employee handbook contains everything someone needs to know to join your team. It lays out heavy but important info like rules, legal obligations, and responsibilities. It also contains guides to company culture, history, vision, and values. 

Most importantly, creating an employee handbook clears up any ambiguity about what’s expected of employees and what they can expect working at your company to be like. 

You also want to be sure that the handbook is engaging enough that employees will actually read it and get the info they need. Fortunately, when you create an employee handbook online you have a multitude of tools at your disposal to make your employee handbook an immersive experience.
