Hi Sharmila & (Cite Contribution),
Having worked in a Startup and designed its policies and processes, I can confidently tell you that having an employee handbook creates great confidence in new joinees since it shows that processes are put into place.
I agree with the content suggested by (Cite Contribution), and would like to stress that a Code of Conduct is essential since you are building the organization, and by default, its culture. So it's important to specify norms of behaviour.
With reference to policy information, this should be a synopsis of the main policy and not the entire content. A new employee should be able to understand what the policy is about, and his entitlement within it. Any exceptions should be mentioned in the main policy, and not the employee handbook.
You should add a message from the MD / CEO along with the company's vision, mission & values. Values should be clearly explained, and linked to the code of conduct.
Hope this helps. Please contact me offline if you wish to discuss this further.
