WorkNest’s Employee handbook is packed with business-critical resources as well as the kind of policies that can help inform a better future for your business and your employees. It includes things like sustainability, hybrid working, shared parental leave and much more.



Inclusivity, transparency, and a welcoming environment can be attractive to potential employees – having the right policies in place is essential.

Finding the right match for your business can be a wonderful feeling. Be confident you’re well-placed to attract the right kind of talent with a little help from WorkNest’s recruitment checklist.



Show your employees what it’s like to work with you from the very first day, with a strong and well-structured onboarding process. These templates can help you give your new-starts a solid foundation. From checklists ensuring an inclusive induction, to templates that will help you successfully communicate the details of probationary periods. First impressions stick, so getting off on the right foot is always top priority.



Employees who feel secure, heard and respected are much more likely to perform well and help you achieve your targets. Consistent and caring leadership is a recipe for success. Here’s some support your management team can use to stay on top of the practices for reducing workplace stress, handling hybrid teams, and much more.



One of the most powerful things you can do for your employees is offer them a space to grow. When you notice that someone is struggling for any reason, it’s time to take a step back and work out whether there’s anything you can do to help.



Staff turnover can present a challenge, but it offers opportunities too. When the time comes for employees to move on to their next role, be sure to send them on their way with a positive attitude.
