Employee manual or employees policy guide

Question
Should we prepare a manual for employees, or a policy and procedure guide for supervisors? 
Answer
Both, eventually.

Many smaller firms prefer to prepare a policy manual for employees. An employee manual can be broadly written to reflect the firm's management style.

As an organization grows, however, there is often a need to further define policy issues. A policy and procedure guide for supervisors can provide the details and guidance needed.
