# The Arbor Company Employee Handbook
Welcome to The Arbor Company! This handbook covers the policies, expectations, and guidance that apply to all team members across our senior living communities.
If you're a new employee, in addition to this handbook, you will receive orientation and training specific to your department and role. Please keep this handbook available for review whenever you have questions about company policies or procedures. You can access it any time from your Arbor Connect app or the Arbor Connect intranet at [www.arborconnect.com](https://www.arborconnect.com/).
## What's in this handbook
The handbook is organized into three sections:
* [**The Arbor Way**](/the-arbor-way/section-1-the-arbor-way.md) — Who we are, what we value, and how we serve our residents and each other.
* [**Understanding Expectations**](/understanding-expectations/section-2-expectations.md) — Administrative policies that apply to every team member.
* [**Safety First**](/safety-first/section-3-safety-first.md) — Procedures and practices that keep residents, team members, and our communities safe.
## Getting help
If you have a question or concern about anything in this handbook, speak with your supervisor first. If you need additional support, the Executive Director at your community can help. For matters that need to be escalated further, your community's Human Resources Support Partner is available.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.arborconnect.com/readme.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
