Google Sites Operations Manual

Many Podiatry Hive Members have been patiently waiting and we can now advise the launch of the done-for-you Google Sites Operations Manual.

Built to your specifications, the Operations Manual ‘Intranet’ is an online, operations manual you can update in real time, doing away with dusty ring binders or hundreds of word documents which need tracking when updating.

All you need is a Google account, your business logo and we can take it from there.

We can upload your existing practice procedures and policies or, if you need content we can provide complete operation procedures and policies which have already been written and can be tailored to your practice.

The Google Sites Operations Manual includes:

– An initial consultation (to establish exactly what your operational needs are)

– Basic customisation – we upload of any images you would like; your logo, practice photos, colour scheme adjustment, and starter content added

– Access is provided via your Google account

– Training is provided to manage and maintain the portal

If you would like more information regarding the Google Sites Operations Manual, email The Podiatry Hive team at assist@hivepractice.com
