So I am doing a series of posts on Gradience Software, specifically their supervisor handbook software. Now I have always been open here so I will say that they contacted me first but I am glad they did. I have been wanting to put together a supervisor handbook for some time and they have a piece of software that is built specifically for doing this task.
As someone in HR, I dread putting together a supervisor handbook. If you have experience with it, you know it can be trying and include approximately 1,378 revisions. I have no problem putting together an employee handbook (which they also have software for) but a supervisor handbook is more difficult because you have to be detailed about the policies and include many things that you wouldn’t normally include in an employee handbook. For example, many handbooks have the phrase “Please see your manager for more details.†Well, a soundly designed supervisor manual will have all of those things spelled out as clearly as possible so the manager can actually inform the employee. It has to be reference worthy and also readable.
So basically I am going to download the software and give it a shot and see how I like it. I’ve already started the process by getting with their tech person (Anjanette, who is awesome by the way) and starting the setup process. I am going to get it setup, customized and then generate a handbook and give my input on what works really well and what could be improved.
