When creating your employee handbook, we know your top priority is to communicate your organization’s policies and procedures. Nobody’s trying to swindle you or lead you to believe otherwise. That said, some handbooks make employees feel like another number (read: a number that can be fired for many reasons). Other handbooks inspire employees to feel like part of a team that happens to have rules to enable everyone to work together successfully. 

We prefer the latter.

Here are three ideas to make your employee handbook less of a snoozefest.

1. Tell your origin story
2. Explore your company timeline
3. Highlight your people
