From Consultation to Completion: Your Handbook, Step by Step

Our Process

Our approach to creating an Employee Handbook is collaborative, transparent, and tailored to your organisation’s needs.

  • Initial Consultation

    We begin with a discovery session to understand your business, culture, and specific requirements. This includes reviewing any existing documents and discussing your objectives for the handbook.

  • Policy Gathering & Research

    Leveraging our team's cross-industry HR consulting expertise and in-depth knowledge of Cayman Islands employment law, we review your existing policies, address compliance requirements, and incorporate industry-specific considerations. We research best practices and legal obligations, ensuring your handbook is both comprehensive and compliant while being tailored to your operational needs

  • Content Drafting & Formatting

    Based on our findings, we draft clear, easy-to-understand handbook content, reflecting your organization’s unique values, tone, and branding. We can also incorporate your branding or create a digital version for ease of use.

  • Review & Collaboration

    We present the initial draft to you for feedback. This collaborative phase allows us to refine language, adjust for clarity, and ensure the handbook meets your expectations.

  • Final Delivery & Ongoing Support

    You receive the completed handbook ready for distribution. We remain available for future updates, amendments, or to assist with employee onboarding materials.

  • How long does it take to create or update an Employee Handbook?

    Typically within two to four weeks, depending on the complexity and scope of your policies and the level of customisation required.

  • Do you offer training on how to use the handbook internally?

    Absolutely. We provide onboarding materials and can host training sessions for managers and employees to ensure the handbook is understood and used effectively.

  • Is the handbook tailored to Cayman Islands employment law?

    Yes. Our HR consultants are well-versed in Cayman Islands labour regulations and ensure your handbook is fully compliant with local laws.

  • Can we include our company branding and tone of voice?

    Definitely. The standard level of our service will leave you with a basic designed word document including your logos and tone of voice and means you can further customise the look. We also offer, for an additional price, a fully designed handbook that our graphic design team will make to match your company branding should that be of interest to you.

  • What if we already have a handbook but it’s outdated?

    We offer a comprehensive review and update service. We’ll audit your existing handbook for compliance, clarity, and relevance, then modernise it to meet current standards.

  • Do you provide digital versions of the handbook?

    Yes. We deliver both print-ready and digital formats, including PDF and editable Word documents. We can also advise on integrating the handbook into your intranet or HR platform should you have those types of systems in place.

  • Will you notify us when employment laws change?

    We offer ongoing support packages that include periodic reviews and updates based on changes in legislation or best practices.

  • Can you help us write policies we don’t currently have?

    Yes. If your business is missing key policies—such as remote work, data protection, or grievance procedures—we’ll help you draft them from scratch should that be something you contract us to do.

  • Is this service suitable for small businesses?

    Absolutely. Whether you're a startup or a large enterprise, we can scale our services to meet your needs and budget.
