Employee handbook

LP

We are in the process of updating our employee handbook and are going to have it strictly online thus a hardcopy will not be distributed. A few years ago, the company had an employee handbook that detailed policies and they went to a slimmer handbook that didn't detail the policies and was written in a broader sense. The current dilemma being we have a downscaled version of an employee handbook but alot of staff still refer to the previous handbook for greater detail.

Any ideas of how to create a handbook that is a positive tool without sounding like it is strictly a policy/procedure manual? I really don't want to have a supervisor handbook and an employee handbook...Ideas please!
