Halifax Harbour Bridges unveils new digital employee handbook
Halifax Harbour Bridges reached a significant milestone with the introduction of a digital Employee Handbook that features the latest HHB policies and procedures. This new comprehensive guide replaces the previous printed version from 2018 and reflects HHB’s commitment to modernization and enhancing accessibility for all employees.
The new handbook is designed to serve as a central, easily accessible document that provides an overview of major policies, direct links to detailed information, and is a vital tool for every member of the HHB community. The handbook applies to all categories of employees, including full-time, part-time, and probationary employees, as well as students, temporary workers, contract employees, seasonal staff, and, in many cases, contractors working on-site.
Key features and highlights
The digital handbook not only highlights all major policies but also includes sections on HHB's Code of Conduct, dress code guidelines, statutory holidays, and various leave entitlements. New employees are required to acknowledge their review of the handbook as part of the orientation process, while long-term employees are encouraged to review it annually to stay informed about any changes.
CEO’s message
“We’ve spent a lot of time updating policies and procedures to reflect the best practices for our industry. The Employee Handbook highlights key policies, processes, and protocols, and can point employees to the details through included links, while our Human Resources department and department supervisors are available for assistance or more information.”
Tony Wright, CEO
Training and support
To ensure thorough understanding and seamless implementation, department discussions about the revised policies and handbook were held. As well, training material on key policies are available to HHB staff.
