Hello there! Blissbook has updated its Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, effective May 28, 2018.

Although privacy and the safeguarding of your and your employees’ personal information has been and always will be important to us, these changes were made due to the EU’s new data privacy regulations, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

It’s Friday! Here in the US, today is the kickoff to your Memorial Day weekend. While we’re here working on updating our privacy policy and terms for GDPR, you can check out the best HR, leadership, and policy management articles we put together from the last couple of weeks.

Did you know? Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day due to the practice of decorating the graves of fallen soldiers.

Article of the Week: We chose this week’s highlighted article (look for the ✦ below) because its topic is something so simple yet so profound! A little reminder that most of the time, we are just animals following our animal brains.

A Happy Friday Tuesday Colors Day to You! OK, that isn’t a real holiday, but we’re celebrating anyways with a new update that allows you to customize all the colors in your handbook (without having us do it for you):

We apologize for the delay in getting you the best HR, leadership, and policy management articles we could find from the last couple of weeks. We think it was worth it!

Article of the Week: We chose this week’s highlighted article (look for the ✦ below) because you’re awesome. Yeah, you. Remember what you used to be like? As in, right out of college? Not quite as awesome, I bet. You’ve come a long way! Keep it up!

A Happy Friday to You! We’re getting close to another release of something you’ve been asking for for a while: self-serve in-line color editing. You’ll soon be able to change the color of text and backgrounds to any color you want. Hooray!

Below is a little bit shorter than normal list of the best HR, leadership, and policy management articles we could find from the last couple of weeks.

Have a great week!

It’s Tuesday, not Friday! We had a mini-vacation here at Blissbook so you’re getting a special mid-week Bugle. It took a couple of extra days, but we finally put together the best HR, leadership, and policy management articles we could find from the last couple of weeks.

Have a great week!

Article of the Week: This week’s highlighted article (look for the ✦ below) is highlighted because it reminds us of a great Demetri Martin joke: “Now, I’ve met many chocoholics, but I’ve never seen no chocohol. We got an epidemic, people! People who love chocolate and don’t understand the rules of word endings. They’re probably over-workaholled.” Enjoy!

Friday is here, woo hoo! Baseball season started yesterday, so we’re in a good mood here at Blissbook HQ. Our product update from the last 2 weeks is a small one. We made it easy to send someone (legal counsel, perhaps) an individual policy for review. You can now print any version of any individual policy back to the first time you published to a PDF, making it easy to share!

We also had a chance to put together the best HR, leadership, and policy management articles we could find from the last 2 weeks.

Have a good great Friday and weekend!

Article of the Week: This week’s highlighted article (look for the ✦ below) is highlighted because we had to pick something. Seems like it was a slow couple of weeks on the interwebs. Enjoy!

Happy Friday, Everyone! 🍀🏀🍀🏀🍀🏀 March madness! St. Patrick’s Day! Hopefully you have enough time to fit in the best HR, leadership, and policy management articles from the last 2 weeks.

Oh, hey, guess what? Last week we launched a new feature: Version History! You can use this to see a diff of changes that have happened to a section’s content since your handbook was first published. Now you can see who’s been messing with your policies. =)

Have a happy safe weekend!

Article of the Week: This week’s highlighted article (look for the ✦ below) is a great summary of all the little things that can add up over time to turn you into a horrible manager. It’s easy to fall into bad habits when you’re asked to contribute AND manage. Hopefully this article will get you out of your rut (or email it anonymously to your manager!).

Happy Friday Monday, Everyone! Better late than never, we’re coming to you with the best HR, leadership, and policy management articles from the last 2 weeks + 3 days.

Before we get to those, a quick announcement about a new feature coming this week: Version History!

You’ll be able to click this for any section in your handbook and see a diff of changes that have happened to that section’s content since your handbook was first published.

We hope your week is productive and filled with laughter!

Article of the Week: This week’s highlighted article (look for the ✦ below) is about culture fit. For the reasons outlined therein, try to look for culture add instead of culture fit.

Happy Friday, Folks! Our February started off on a high note as our co-Founder Sam and his wife welcomed their second child into the world.

We made sure to set aside some time to put together the week’s best HR, leadership, and policy management articles for you. Lots of state lawmakers getting 2018 started with a bang – make sure you check those out so you can keep your company protected. Have a gratuitously fun weekend!

Happy February Friday! January 2018 is gone forever. That sure happened fast. Hopefully your first month was productive!

We made a few upgrades to Blissbook. The table of contents is improved, we fixed a number of bugs, the subscription flow is smoother, and your rehires are handled more elegantly. We also put together the week’s best HR, leadership, and policy management articles for you. We hope you enjoy giving these a look!
