I have an existing employee handbook that needs a professional once-over before it is distributed company-wide. The document must be thoroughly proofread for grammar, spelling, and overall content accuracy, then reorganized so the flow is clear and every section is easy to locate. Additionally, the freelancer will need to compare the new handbook with the old one and align it by incorporating any beneficial details that might be missing. Once the text is clean, I also need you to standardise headings, fonts, spacing, tables, and bullet styles so the entire handbook follows a polished, general-professional layout—no proprietary style guide is in place, so you have creative freedom so long as the end result feels consistent, modern, and HR-ready. Finally, design a simple but eye-catching front cover that includes the company name, logo (I’ll supply the file), and publication date. Deliverables • Proofread, reorganised handbook in an editable DOCX file • Print-ready PDF with the new cover page • Source file (or Canva/Illustrator link) for the cover so we can update it later Acceptance will be based on: zero spelling or grammar errors, consistent formatting throughout, logical section order, and a clean, professional cover page ready for immediate distribution.

A handbook going company-wide isn't just a formatting job, it's the one document every employee will point to when a question or dispute comes up. Getting it visually clean is only half the goal, the real win is making sure it reads as one consistent source of truth. When you merge the old handbook into the new one, some policies may say different things, like leave rules, conduct standards, or reporting procedures. Which version should carry the final word when the two disagree? This matters because if that isn't settled before the rewrite starts, the finished handbook could carry mixed signals without anyone noticing until it's already in employees' hands. Are you available for a brief 15-minute diagnostic chat today or tomorrow?

Hi there, This project is a great fit — I bring a rare combination for handbook work: 16 years of hands-on HR experience (policy writing, employee relations, compliance) paired with strong design skills across Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Canva. I won't just clean up grammar; I'll catch policy gaps, inconsistent tone, and outdated language that a purely editorial freelancer might miss. My approach: 1. Content pass — full proofread plus a side-by-side comparison against your old handbook to flag any beneficial clauses or policies missing from the new draft. 2. Reorganize — restructure into a logical, easy-to-navigate flow with clear section hierarchy and a table of contents. 3. Design system — standardize headings, fonts, spacing, tables, and bullets into one clean, modern, HR-ready template. 4. Cover design — a simple, polished front cover with your logo, company name, and publication date, built in Illustrator or Canva (your preference) and delivered as an editable source file so you can update it in future. Deliverables: editable DOCX, print-ready PDF, and the cover source file. I'm available to start right away and happy to share a quick sample of formatting or cover style before we begin, if useful. Looking forward to working on this with you. Best, Su
