KitSplit Handbook

This is KitSplit's employee handbook. It is inspired by, and borrows heavily from, Clef's open-sourced employee handbook. Feedback and comments are welcome.

Best, Kristina Budelis, Lisbeth Kaufman, and Ken Amarit Cofounders of KitSplit

Here is Clef's original comment explaining their handbook:

"At Clef we’re working to build an inclusive company with a value-driven culture. That’s an easy thing to want and say, but it’s difficult to practice because exclusion is the default in our industry. It takes active effort to find the hidden biases in our companies and remove them.

As we started growing our team this year, we looked for a starter-kit of inclusive policies. A lot of great work is being done to discuss cultural problems and their solutions, but it’s coming from a lot of different voices around the web and very little is written in the form of policy.

We wanted to put what we've learned into practice, so we decided to write our own handbook and open source it.

This repository contains all of the policies that we use at Clef. It represents many hours of research, lots of thoughtful debates, and some serious introspection. It’s certainly not perfect, but we think it’s an exciting place to start.

Feel free to fork this repository and use any or all of these policies, and to modify them in whatever way makes sense for your company. We hope that by publishing them, other companies can benefit from our research and make their own policies more inclusive.

All feedback and suggestions (especially in the form of pull requests) are very appreciated. We’ve gotten several different perspectives to help arrive at these policies, but we are certainly missing many more and making mistakes as a result. This is a work in progress that we hope will get better with more time and more contributors."

Acknowledgements

We hope that many more people will suggest ways for us to improve these policies. Thanks to:

  • Clef team for making original handbook and making it public
  • Kit McCaskey for telling us about this handbook!
