A Digital Employee Handbook Helps Employees Work Better

Why You Need A Digital Employee Handbook

Help your employees find the answers to all of their HR-related questions quickly and easily with a digital employee handbook.

This useful handbook will help quickly answer all of your company’s most frequently asked questions in plain English.

It could also have:-

• Step-by-step instructions for answering the more technical questions about the company’s policies and procedures
• A list of references to other resources that employees can consult when they have questions
• Tips on how to handle difficult customer situations
• Giving information on creating a great work environment, among other valuable ideas.

A Good HR Handbook Will Keep Your Staff Happy

Effective HR can be the determining factor in indicating if a company is a “great company to work for” or “a horrible company to work for.”

Employees are more likely to feel happy and satisfied working for a company, if they:-

• Fully understand the expectations of their employer in carrying out their job role
• Feel like they can discuss and decide how the company operates
• Know that they are going to be listened to and addressed in the manner that they would like

Accessibile and Up To Date

An online employee handbook can make the process of finding information easier, by being accessible from smartphones, tablets and computers 24/7/365. It eliminates the need for an employee to spend time preparing a written letter or email for HR to ask a question. And being written in simple and clear English, employees will appreciate having this as a reference, before they need to discuss an issue with a manager.

A digital employee handbook also helps in ensuring that employees are providing the best service possible. By providing a single, up-to-date version of the handbook, employees will understand exactly what the company expects from them.

Great or Bad Company To Work For?

A great company to work for and a horrible company to work for are not mutually exclusive concepts.

A company may be ‘great’ at what it does (i.e. creating loyal customers), but there may be problems with employee treatment or some of the company’s policies and this can lead to employees feeling unhappy, or just like they’re being treated like a number.

An employee handbook supports the need for staff  to understand their place in the organisation and that they are acting professionally in their job roles.

A well thought out, digital employee handbook with a clear and concise framework of what an employer expects from their employees, can help employees feel included and valued, whilst working at the company.
