How Can I Make My HR Manual More Creative and Engaging? Need Your Ideas!

Hey there, I am working on my summer project on an HR manual. I have included all the matters that can be involved in it, and my company guide has approved it. However, the issue now is that she wants it to be innovative and creative, a manual that looks interesting to read. I need your help. - Reda

Hi Reda,

There's a little scope in making the content of an HR manual creative because it deals with addressing mundane maintenance issues and other HR matters. The maximum scope where you can make it more creative is in the style of writing. Adopt a more 'first person', active style of writing, as if you are talking to the employee and explaining it all to him. Keep the manual free of jargon; use simple English. You're not writing a literary book. Include an abbreviations index and provide annexures of various forms as applicable. Use graphics, smileys, and elegant formatting available in MS Word.

In all of this, you may want to have a mildly casual approach. However, in no way should the seriousness of the matter be diminished. Be careful in selecting the kind of pictures to include as well. Hope this helps.

Hi all,

I am also working on the HR manual for my organization, having done everything in bits and pieces. For example, I have completed the induction training for new joiners and the recruitment process, but I am not getting a complete view. What else should be included to enhance it?

I am also exploring different recruitment processes in IT consultancies. If anyone can assist me with this, I would be very grateful.

Thanks and looking forward to your help.
