Hello,
It’s nice to know your organization has a hand book for new employees for good on boarding. Putting names of managers in different departments in the hand book is a matter to be decided by your management.
In many MNCs where employee hand books are in place, only the CEO/MD/COO or top most ranks are allowed to be printed in the hand book along with a detailed profile of the person.
Here, apart from the essential organizational information, you can clearly show the organizational hierarchy with the designations, roles and responsibilities business functions, regional structures (for MNCs) and so on.
Since lower level employees are tend to leave the job more than that of top level executives, it would be a good idea to print your hand book only with top level peoples’ profiles. Usually CEOs and MDs serve for long time in orgnisations.
At the same time you can use the same book in a more detailed form as soft copy in PDF format which can include all your present managers starting from top to bottom positions with their designations and salutations. It is easy to include their photos and brief profiles and can edit it whenever is needed.
On the first day when an employee joins, he is welcomed with this soft copy of the hand book send from Corporate HR dept to his new Email ID (official) along with other statutory forms to go though and get filled up, and returned to HR dept in the same day itself.
You can add a lot of other information in corporate PowerPoint presentations with commentary and videos to let the new joiner get accustomed to the new environment very soon. These can be uploaded in the common shared drives if your organization or in local intranet. In organizations I have worked (and currently working) we follow these practices.
Thank you
