Handbook, upgraded

Your whole handbook, online and on-brand.

At a small company, the handbook is often a new hire's first real look at how you work. But if you're the one writing it, you probably wear a few other hats too. Blissbook helps you build a branded handbook employees actually read, and keeps it current as laws change.

How Blissbook helps a small team look put-together.

Look the part

Give employees a handbook that feels like your company.

Your branded online handbook starts with the colors, logo, and font from your website, so it looks like your company from day one. Fine-tune the details yourself, and keep editing long after launch without waiting on a designer. New hires get a first impression of a company that has its act together (even if the coffee machine is still broken).

Culture, meet compliance

A handbook that sounds like you, not your lawyer.

Your welcome letter, the story of how the company started, and how Friday lunches work live in the same handbook as your leave policy. Add team photos and a video from the founder, and tuck the legal details behind read-more buttons so your culture comes first. New hires get to know the company and its rules in the same read.

No law degree required

Start from policy content you can trust.

Hundreds of model policies covering federal, state, county and city laws give you a solid first draft to shape into your own. If you'd rather hand the writing off, Blissbook's HR experts can write a new handbook or update your current one. You review and approve every word before it reaches employees.

Bring it on

Upload your Word handbook without retyping a word.

Import one Word file or a whole stack of them. Blissbook splits them into separate policies by heading, ready for you to organize. Your trusty Employee-Handbook-final_FINAL.docx finally gets a home employees can read from any device.

Across state lines

Show employees the policies that apply to them.

One handbook shows each employee the right content for their location. Your two new hires in Colorado see Colorado's rules, nobody else has to scroll past them, and you still edit a single handbook instead of one copy per state. Preview it as any employee to check what they'll see before you publish.

Law and order

Keep policies current as laws change.

Blissbook tracks newly enacted employment laws at the federal, state, county, and city level. You only hear about the changes that affect your policies, not every update from city hall. Blissbook can also suggest edits to your own handbook as laws change, ready for you to approve and publish.

What changed, when

See what changed and who made the edit.

Every published version stays on file, and a redline compares any two versions of a policy side by side. Each edit shows who made it and when, so "when did we change the PTO policy?" takes seconds to answer. Employees only ever see the latest version.

Blissbook has transformed how we manage and communicate our employee handbook and mandatory acknowledgments... we've surpassed our Handbook Campaign goals in both timeliness and completion rates.
