Employee Handbook Development

We are looking for a volunteer who can develop an employee handbook for our new orphanage in Kenya East Africa, AND review and 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’ 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:

-Reviewing the policy manual for our new orphanage and creating documentation and forms necessary for the proper functioning of this new venture.
-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

To prepare, we've designated a team member to oversee the project. We'll provide you with our existing Employee Handbook, 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.

We are establishing an orphanage in Kenya, so it is imperative that we begin this new chapter with a strong, formal, legal foundation. We have an attorney in Kenya who is assisting us with the process. This support will help in a variety of ways, and will help us keep costs to a minimum.

We currently have a handbook and materials that should be reviewed by a human resource professional, but we do have something.
