Top employee handbook software options in 2026

Employee handbooks are an important part of employee onboarding and training. Some organizations refer to them as employee manuals or staff handbooks, but whatever title they go by, they include vital information related to the company and employment, such as the company’s mission, vision, and values, and employee expectations. They also include details related to compensation and benefits, policies and procedures, and workplace guidelines.

In past decades, employee handbooks were paper-based booklets, they’re now digitized more often than not. While a simple PDF may work for some companies, more and more organizations prefer to use software to store and share their company guidelines. Below, we look at popular employee handbook software options for all kinds of organizations.

Bonus option for simplicity: Jotform Apps

Looking for a super simple way to create a visually appealing, user-friendly employee handbook? Try Jotform Apps.  

Using Jotform Apps, you can easily create a comprehensive, downloadable custom handbook app for your organization. Your employees can use it to access all your company information, as well as important forms — leave request forms, scheduling forms, and more. It serves as a handy, one-stop-shop for your handbook resources, and it makes things easier for everyone. Jennifer Curvin of Tecta America says, “Jotform Apps is great because I can put all of the forms in one place. If I had to send out 20 different links to all of the forms, it would be very confusing.”
