Employee Handbook Development

We are looking for a volunteer who can develop an employee handbook or make updates to our existing materials. We're hoping to find a partner with a background in HR and/or operations to improve transparency and accountability by clarifying our employees’ legal rights and our policies, benefits, and other expectations for performance and conduct in a new or revised employee handbook. This project will contain the following activities:

-Conducting an audit of our existing policies including reviewing our existing materials and asking any clarifying questions
-Identify policies that we should modify and any new policies or areas that should be addressed and included
-Present a detailed outline of a new handbook
-Finalize the handbook after receiving feedback from our team

Through working with Erie Niagara AHEC on updating our Employee Handbook, you will help our team set a strong foundation for success with clear expectations and enhance clarity around our employees' rights. We hope to provide a handbook that reflects our modern work environment, that emphasizes our values and promotes a strong culture. We are so excited to work with a volunteer on this project!

To prepare, we've designated a team member to oversee the project. We'll provide you with our existing Employee Handbook (if applicable), internal communications regarding employment policies, and any other employment policies that we have in place. The volunteer should expect to spend 15-20 hours over 4-5 weeks.
