Blissbook

HR teams use Blissbook to build an online employee handbook and to run the policies that sit behind it. Existing policies can be imported, arranged in a mobile-friendly template and published so that staff can read the handbook on any device. The vendor says it can also assemble the handbook for a customer when the team does not have the time or the design skills.

Building a handbook from policies already written

The platform starts from the policies a company already holds. Those documents are imported and then placed into a built-in handbook layout, so the team does not have to lay out a new document in a separate program. Built-in project tools help the people responsible for the launch track each task needed to bring a digital handbook live for the workforce.

Updating policies without reissuing the handbook

Once a handbook is live, changes can be made at any time. The company says the updated text can be sent to the people affected by it, so that staff are told about a changed policy rather than finding it by chance. That keeps the handbook the single reference point for the organization, which is the main argument the business makes for an online format.

Acknowledgements and audit trails

Staff are often asked to confirm that they have read a policy. Blissbook supports electronic signatures for these acknowledgements, with requests, tracking and reports. The company describes the signatures as legally binding, and says reporting makes it easier for HR to show that a population has read what it was asked to read.

Links to HR systems

The platform can be connected to an HRIS and to Active Directory, so that a sign-off process can run automatically from the records a company already keeps. This removes a manual step from onboarding and from policy rollouts, and it means the list of people who must acknowledge a policy follows the employee records.

Who the platform is built for

Companies of different sizes use the service, from growing firms with a strong culture to enterprises that need extensive policy management and reporting. Professional employer organizations and agencies that manage staff for other businesses are a named audience, and the company also names firms that need to show audit readiness, with SOC 2 given as an example.
