Sections of a typical employee handbook
A typical employee handbook includes various sections including organization’s mission statement, standards of conduct, anti-retaliation policy, and employee benefits. Employee handbooks can also mention overtime policy and performance evaluations. Translators who have experience translating such handbooks are usually fluent in both English and the target language and are familiar with business laws and regulations. Many large businesses, non-profit organizations, hospitals, and educational institutions commonly provide a handbook to their new employees. In some cases they provide a translation too. If you need certain sections of an employee handbook or the entire file to be translated, please get in touch with us.
Translators who specialize in HR translations
Human resources and procurement professionals who work in global organizations often rely on translation services providers to translate their employee manuals and handbooks from English into foreign languages and vice versa. Translators who specialize in the translation of documents pertaining to human resources often have experience translating safety guidelines, corporate policies, resumes, job descriptions, and training manuals. Translators who focus on HR translations usually need to possess advanced knowledge of legal terminology because such documents are often drafted by business law attorneys. If you are looking for professional translators who specialize in HR translations to translate your employee handbooks, please get in touch with us.

Employee handbook translation: best practices
We strive to incorporate the industry’s best practices into our handbook translation services. We do our best to select well qualified translators who are committed to delivering accurate translations. We also double check our work to make sure the translation conveys the same meaning as the original text and sounds natural to native speakers.
What if I need an employee handbook to be translated into multiple languages?
We can handle your request! Please send us a list of languages you need. Due to diversity of workforce in many organizations it is important to make sure HR manuals are accessible to all employees in their native language if they do not speak English fluently. Sometimes that means translating the handbook into many languages.
Key steps to getting a translation for employee handbooks
Before you submit your employee handbook and other human resources documents, please make sure you attach the finalized copy. You can take this step to minimize the number of versions you send us. While we are happy to make revisions to a manual as the need arises, it is possible for your team members to distribute the outdated version. Therefore, we suggest that you email us the most updated version.
