Workplace Policies

Scanning rules, regulations, and consequences in a company handbook.

Lesson Goal: Learn how to read formal corporate documents to understand your rights and responsibilities.

Understanding the Handbook

When you start a new job, HR will give you an Employee Handbook. It is a very important document that outlines the rules of the company. However, it is usually very long!

To find what you need, you should use scanning. Look for the bold headings to find the section you need (like "Leave" or "Security"). Then, look for strong legal adjectives like mandatory or prohibited to understand exactly what you can and cannot do.

Go to the next tab to learn formal workplace vocabulary, then practice scanning the GlobalCorp Handbook in the Practice tab!
