Employee Handbook Services for Small Businesses
Choose the Right Handbook Solution for Your Business
Whether you're a startup needing quick compliance or an established business wanting something truly tailored to your company culture, we've got the perfect handbook solution for you.
Template Downloads for £75 offer the perfect starting point for businesses who want professional, legally compliant handbooks without the wait. These ready-to-use templates are available for instant download from our website in both PDF and digital formats. They're ideal when you need to get compliant quickly and have the confidence to customise the content yourself.
Standard Bespoke Handbooks for £550 provide a professionally tailored handbook that covers all the essential policies your business needs. During our scoping session, we'll identify the core policies required for your industry and business size, then create a handbook using your branding and tone of voice. This option includes the most commonly needed policies like disciplinary procedures, grievance handling, holiday entitlement, and sickness absence.
Comprehensive Bespoke Handbooks for £850 are our full-service option for businesses that want everything covered. This includes all the standard policies plus additional specialised policies that might be relevant to your sector, such as social media policies, remote working guidelines, whistleblowing procedures, and modern slavery statements. We'll also include more detailed procedures and company-specific guidance.
Fully Digital Interactive Handbooks take your employee handbook to the next level with advanced digital features. These premium handbooks include interactive navigation, searchable content, embedded links, and dynamic elements that make policies easier to understand and follow. Perfect for tech-forward businesses who want to provide their team with the most modern, user-friendly handbook experience possible. This premium service is quoted individually based on your specific requirements and desired functionality.
Flexible Format Options for Every Business Need
All our bespoke handbooks come in PDF as standard, giving you flexibility in how you share and store your handbook. PDF versions are professional, easy to email, and can be printed when needed, while our standard digital format ensures accessibility across all devices. We can arrange for them to be printed for you if required, or they can be created digitally to sit on your shared drive. PDF handbooks offer professional presentation and easy sharing, while printable versions work well for traditional environments or as backup copies.
For businesses wanting to embrace the future of employee communication, our fully digital interactive version transforms your handbook into an engaging, dynamic resource. These handbooks feature advanced search capabilities, interactive menus, embedded training videos, and clickable policy cross-references. The interactive format makes it easier for employees to find exactly what they need quickly, while managers can track which sections are being accessed most frequently. There are a range of options when considering digital handbooks so this will be explored in the consultation.
How We Create Your Bespoke Handbook
Creating a truly effective employee handbook isn't just about copying policies from the internet. It starts with understanding your business, your team, and the specific challenges you face.
During our comprehensive scoping session, we'll work together to determine exactly which policies your business actually needs. For our standard service, we focus on the essential policies that every business requires - the ones that keep you compliant and help you manage day-to-day employee situations effectively.
If you choose our comprehensive service, we'll explore additional policies that could benefit your specific business. This might include industry-specific requirements, policies for remote or hybrid working, or procedures that reflect your company's particular values and culture.
Once we understand your requirements, we integrate your brand throughout the handbook. This isn't just about adding your logo - we ensure the entire document reflects your company's personality. If you're a relaxed, informal workplace, your handbook will sound like it. If you're more traditional and formal, that comes through too. The result is a handbook that feels authentically yours.
Keeping Your Handbook Current
Employment law doesn't stand still, and neither should your employee handbook. Recent changes around flexible working rights, sexual harassment policies, and hybrid working arrangements mean many existing handbooks are already out of date.
We offer an annual update service to ensure your handbook stays current with changing legislation, available as an add-on for both service levels. We review all relevant legal changes each year and update your handbook accordingly, maintaining the same professional formatting and brand consistency.
