Our Story
At Handbook, we’ve been part of the corporate world for a long time—since 2011, in fact. We’ve seen firsthand the struggles businesses face with employee training. The traditional systems were clunky, manual, and just plain ineffective. It became clear that the way things were being done wasn’t cutting it. There had to be a better way to manage employee training, onboarding, and compliance.
"that's it?"
Over the years, we’ve heard countless customers say, “That’s it?” when they first try Handbook—and we love it. It’s exactly the reaction we were hoping for.
That’s why we decided to build Handbook. We set out to create a system that would automate onboarding, assign the right training to the right people, and ensure compliance—without all the usual headaches of outdated, complex software.
The journey began with a simple realization: the Learning Management Systems (LMS) we were using weren’t cutting it. They were hard to navigate, difficult to manage, and lacked the flexibility needed to grow with a business. The more we used these systems, the more we saw how much time and energy they drained from teams.
So, we built something better. A platform that’s intuitive, scalable, and automated—something that could streamline employee training for small businesses and large enterprises alike. A solution that pulls employee data directly from payroll systems, sends reminders for assigned training, and tracks progress effortlessly. Most importantly, it’s a solution that saves you time and helps you stay compliant.
We wanted to create a system that we’d actually enjoy using—a tool that would make life easier for HR teams, training managers, and business owners. One that removes the complexity of training management and ensures employees are always up to date on policies and training requirements.
But Handbook is more than just a training tool. It’s a complete employee education platform designed to keep businesses compliant, improve performance, and simplify onboarding—all in one easy-to-use system. Whether you’re just starting out or managing a global workforce, Handbook scales with your needs.
We’ve built Handbook because we wanted a better way—and we’re proud to offer that to businesses around the world. If you’re ready to simplify your employee training, onboarding, and compliance, we’re here to help.
