Think of a handbook as your company’s go-to manual – it is the cornerstone of your workplace resources, containing all the vital information and guiding principles of your business in one central resource.
Here are 3 reasons as to why you should have one for your business.
Reason 1: Legal compliance and risk migitation
Policies outline how you expect employees to behave, and your handbook is where all your policies come together into a single document.
When there is an issue, you can fall back on your policies and handbook to evidence your expectations and to protect you.
Reason 2: Smooth operations
Think of your handbook as the nucleus of your company’s operations.
It should contain everything your company needs to keep running smoothly and to avoid disagreements with employees about certain matters.
Reason 3: Culture and values
By creating a handbook, you can also outline the values and culture you are trying to create and expect from employees too. It provides important clarity.
Our latest guide explores everything you need to know about a company handbook.

While it can be tempting to download a generic template, it's unlikely to be the right fit or legally compliant. Instead, partnering with an HR Consultant will help you create a personal handbook that meets your distinct needs and complies with legal requirements.
Tailored Solution
An HR Consultant will create a bespoke handbook that reflects the diverse needs of your business and teams, capturing your unique voice. Relying on a template that doesn’t align with your organisation’s values, such as supporting an employee experiencing menopause symptoms, can lead to complications.
Expert Guidance
By engaging an HR Consultant, you tap into their vast knowledge and expertise to develop a comprehensive, legally compliant handbook, which reflects current trends.
Ongoing Review
An HR Consultant can regularly review your handbook to ensure it remains up-to-date, providing continuous protection. They will ensure it grows with your business, embodying your culture and values, and is always exceptional!
