Team handbooks aren't just to house complicated benefits. They can be transformative in building a healthy, transparent work culture.

They can make new employees feel at home in their new roles. They engage everyone on the team in the company's story, goals,  core values, and operating virtues.

A great handbook is a North Star that everyone can use to stay on course — and refer back to.

What makes a handbook so powerful?

• Handbooks encourage ownership. They allow you to crowdsource your company's knowledge, keeping your documents up-to-date and relevant. Anyone can suggest improvements, so everyone feels a sense of ownership.
• Handbooks build velocity. They eliminate friction and free your team up to create, collaborate, and keep moving toward your most important goals.
• Handbooks inspire a culture of learning. They let your team listen to your customers, and to each other, and share and keep what they discover.
• Handbooks focus your team on results. They make sure everyone knows where you're headed, and how you plan to get there.
• Handbooks foster relationships. A team's strength depends on the strength of its relationships. Handbooks establish communication norms, and encourage openness and intentionality.

If handbooks are so great, why doesn't everyone have one?

Let's face it: you're busy.

You don't really have time to sit down and build a handbook from scratch. Even if it sounds like a great idea. It's just not going to happen today... or this week... or this quarter... or ever. It can feel overwhelming to know where to start.

Many teams don't have a handbook yet because they haven't had time to make one.

We've done the hard part for you. We've created sample handbooks for all kinds of teams and company sizes. And we've made them available to you for free.
