A staff handbook people actually open.
The usual answer is an 80 page Word document that gets read once, at gunpoint, during induction. This is the alternative: your policies as a private, searchable, interactive web page.
Try it. This demo is live.
Click a section to open it. Type "leave" or "holiday" in the search box and watch it filter. Your handbook works exactly like this, with your full policy set behind it.

Why it beats the Word document
It's living. Employment law is changing more in eighteen months than it has in a decade. One file gets updated, everyone sees the current version the same day. Version history included. That's the difference between a document and a defence.
It gets used. Nobody reads 80 pages, but everyone searches "holiday" when they need the answer. Every question the handbook answers is a question that never lands on your desk.
It's private. Hosted behind secure access for your team only, on any device, on site, mid conversation.
It's compliant. CIPD built, current to 2026 employment law and ready for whatever 2027 brings.
