One of the most common challenges our members face is knowing where to start with an employee handbook. It can feel overwhelming, but a well-written handbook is essential for keeping policies clear, expectations aligned, and your team running smoothly. Think of it as your workplace guide, covering key areas like company values, HR policies, and employee expectations. But where do you begin? Here’s a quick checklist: 1 Cover the essentials – contracts, policies, and procedures. 2 Set clear expectations for behaviour and performance. 3 Keep it legally compliant and regularly updated. 4 Make it engaging – ditch the jargon! 5 Share it widely and ensure employees read and understand it.
Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) provides expert guidance and ready-to-use templates making handbook creation easy. Don’t let uncertainty hold you back – get started today! Find our top tips, FAQ’s and a helpful video at fsb.org.uk/resources-page/how-to-write-an-employee-handbook.html
