      Thanks for watching Victoria. We have several additional resources on creating an employee handbook (a.k.a. a Culture Guide), including a two-part HR Party of One series and an eBook.
      How to Create A Culture Guide -Part 1
      blog.bernieportal.com/en/hr-party-of-one/how-to-create-a-culture-guide-part-1
      This two-part series will walk you through everything you need to know and even provides sample language you can adapt for your company.

      You can go with Google Docs or Microsoft Word to create the handbook. That way, it is easy to update as needed. Then, once you have it ready for employees to view, export it as a PDF.
      An HRIS like BerniePortal allows you to host your handbook and makes corporate compliance easier by allowing employees to sign important notices anytime, anywhere. All signed notices are stored in each employee’s personnel file, allowing them to refer back whenever they need. Check out the compliance section of this page for more information.

      If you’re in the United States, reach out to the Small Business Administration (SBA). They are a federally funded organization that will help you for free. No strings. And they assign a counselor to you.

    Stumbled on your video after my new line manager gave a handbook to all my team that is more complicated and boring than something that comes with a new plasma screen TV. A brick of paper. Culture guides are the best way forward!

    Great information! I am building a handbook/culture guide for my medically fragile son's nurses, attendants, and therapists. While I will have to do a lot of adaptation to fit our situation, this gave me some fantastic ideas on organizing the book, and how to write it in an empowering way. Thank you!
