Handbook

Advantages

The handbook has the preceding benefits:

1. Reading is much faster than listening.
2. Reading is async, you don't have to interrupt someone or wait for them to become available.
3. Recruiting is easier if people can see what we stand for and how we operate.
4. Retention is better if people know what they are getting into before they join.
5. On-boarding is easier if you can find all relevant information spelled out.
6. Teamwork is easier if you can read how other parts of the company work.
7. Discussing changes is easier if you can read what the current process is.
8. Communicating change is easier if you can just point to the diff.
9. Everyone can contribute to it by proposing a change via a merge request.

Handbook Interpretation

The handbook is subject to interpretation. We do our best to be as clear as possible to minimise confusion and/or misinterpretation. We also recognise that we have a global audience and that may bring different interpretations. If you have any questions or need further clarification please check with the content owner of the page. When in doubt please reach out and ask.

Remember that everything is in draft and subject to change, this includes our handbook.
