We’ve been talking with a partner who’s hosting an employee handbook workshop later this month and the conversation quickly turned to company culture. In her words:
“Employee Handbooks are not just critical for mitigating risk, they introduce employees to company culture and how they fit in.”
In order to create our eBook, How to Write a Culture-First Employee Handbook, we compiled a list of references – samples, resources, and articles that helped shape our thinking on the topic.
We’d thought it might be nice to share them with you!
