Employee handbook (acknowledge by a date)

A must-read that links the handbook policy itself, so each acknowledgment is recorded against the exact version people were asked to read.

Every employee gets a seat — priced per employee in Communications & Intranet, quoted with this template ready.

Rolled out to every employee at AutoZone (125,000), PetSmart (50,000+), A.S. Watson and Raley's (20,000) — and at larger retailers we are not permitted to name.

Built for: Hospitality · Healthcare · Retail · Manufacturing

Frequently asked questions

Why link the policy instead of attaching the handbook?

The acknowledgment is then recorded against the policy version people were asked to read, so an audit can show who accepted which edition — an attachment only shows that a file was sent.

What happens after the due date?

The post can keep asking for a few more days, marked overdue, so managers see who still owes it on their team view and can follow up.
