Employee Handbook Mini‑Bundle

PUT ESSENTIAL WORKPLACE EXPECTATIONS IN WRITING

As your team grows, expectations that used to be understood need to become clear, documented, and consistent.

The Employee Handbook Mini-Bundle gives small business owners three ready-to-customize workplace policy templates covering some of the most important expectations for a growing team: professional conduct, communication, and attendance.

Instead of starting with a blank page, customize the policies to your business and create a more professional foundation for managing your team.

THREE ESSENTIAL POLICIES. ONE SIMPLE STARTING POINT.

This 17-page editable Canva bundle includes three standalone policy documents you can customize, adopt, and distribute individually or use as the foundation for a broader employee handbook.

Each policy includes an employee acknowledgment and signature section, helping you document that expectations were communicated and received.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Code of Conduct

Establish clear standards for professional behavior, confidentiality and data integrity, conflicts of interest, company resources, social media and public representation, and reporting workplace concerns.

Communication Standards

Create consistent expectations for how employees communicate internally and externally, including response times, communication platforms, client interactions, meeting conduct, escalation procedures, written communication, and digital etiquette.

Attendance Expectations

Define expectations around work schedules, punctuality, absence notification, planned time off, attendance documentation, and repeated attendance issues.

GIVE YOUR GROWING TEAM CLEARER EXPECTATIONS

You don't need a 75-page employee handbook to start putting structure around your team.

Start with three of the policies employees encounter most often—how they conduct themselves, how they communicate, and what's expected when it comes to attendance.

Clear expectations. Consistent standards. A more professional workplace.
