Employee Handbook Tone & Language

Ontario  |  BC  |   Alberta 
OTHER JURISDICTIONS    



Your employee handbook language and tone needs to reflect your company culture. Are you:

  • Formal: e.g., "Individuals shall not partake in unapproved use of non-legal substances or intoxicating beverages while on company premises, unless the CEO approves a special event where alcohol may be consumed."
  • Business casual: e.g., "We don't drink alcohol or take illegal drugs in the workplace, unless alcohol is served at a Company-sponsored special event."
  • Casual: e.g., "You'll lose your job if you drink or do drugs at work, unless the CEO does it first."

At ConnectsUs, we're business casual, and all our templates are written that way—plain language, direct and clear. 

The Employee Handbook Builder is included in the HR Toolkit and provides step-by-step online instructions and guidance for getting your Canadian handbook over the finish line.

  • I just wanted to write to say that ConnectsUs HR™ for Consultants is truly a gift. I've been searching for this type of support with other service providers with no luck. The templates and Resource Center you have created are so helpful, and provide a comprehensive menu of topics, best practices and well-written content that would have taken months to create from scratch. In most cases, my clients don't want to wait long to see results. I am very thankful to have found your product that makes me look so good!

    Thank you again!
