A book about... 

In a nutshell

Our extensive, ready to use Interactive Staff Handbook 2024 draws together information on rules, policies and procedures relating to key aspects of employment, and covers many of the topics about which employees often ask questions.  Containing over 50 expertly drafted policies, procedures and provisions – from AI to whistleblowing – it will take care of all your staff handbook needs.

In detail

This Staff Handbook covers a wide range of topics, including:

  • Alcohol and drugs
  • Anti-bribery
  • Computers and internet usage
  • Confidentiality and data protection
  • Dress code and appearance
  • Driving while on company business
  • Generative AI
  • Disciplinary procedure

What sets our Staff Handbook apart is its practical approach and user-friendly format. It is divided into two parts: Part One contains contractual provisions that form part of the employment contract, while Part Two covers non-contractual policies, procedures, and guidelines.

This Staff Handbook is an essential tool for employers and employees alike. It provides a solid foundation for creating a positive and productive work environment, while also protecting the interests of both the business and its employees.
