An employee handbook is the definition of an organization’s key procedures and policies; it also outlines the organization’s culture, this is one of the most important documents that a new employee should be provided as part of their induction pack. An effective employee handbook should clearly outline the organisation’s rules, policies, values and mission to existing and new employees. 

It is very important for employers to provide this document to their prospective and current employees because it can portray a positive or negative image of the organization’s culture and how it is structured.
