Overview
Wheels MFG wanted an employee handbook that reflected the brand — clear, well-organized, and a world away from the usual dense HR document. The goal: something new hires would actually read and keep.
The challenge
Make policy and onboarding content genuinely readable and on-brand, without losing the detail HR needs.
The approach
A clean editorial system with a strong grid, clear hierarchy, and brand-led color and typography — turning a reference document into a considered piece of print.
