RIP the Employee Handbook? Radical ideas wanted!

Kim

Our employee handbook is dated, irrelevant in some aspects and way too long - a typical traditional handbook!

I'm just embarking on a project to overhaul it and update people related policies and I'm hoping to connect with anyone who considers they have a modern/innovative approach to this document.  

If you are willing to help me out as I benchmark other organisations please get in touch.

  • I looked at this briefly at my last place. There are some lovely examples out there (Netflix is often cited but Valve has my heart) but they were well outside of my abilities at the time.
    I ended up writing a FAQs section (If I have a half day, what time do I finish?) for things people just wanted the answer for. I did start to rewrite the whole thing in a much more human way, including advice to managers and recommendations for external reading (gov.uk, ACAS, maternity weeks calculators) rather than making it too bulky. Unfortunately, we were bought out before it was published.
    Enjoy the project and I look forward to seeing what other suggestions you get as I would love to actually deliver a project like this one day!

    Hi, I can't find the Valve company, what do they do?
