Staff handbook written in Word and converted to a responsive Web layout

In recent posts, we’ve been describing different ways to publish policy and procedure documents online.

Here’s an example of a staff handbook that has been converted from Word to a responsive web layout.

The home page provides links to the main sections in the handbook. In this example, we also changed many of the sentences that were in the passive voice to the active voice.

We could have made more improvements:

• Added colour to highlight what staff must do.
• Provided links to related applications and forms.
• Added images and flowcharts.

The document has been broken down into a series of web pages, with a responsive web layout. This means the pages can be easily read on a mobile phone or a tablet.
