Employee Handbook Development

Life of Hope has been in existence for close to 20 years. For the majority of that time, their programs were staffed by volunteers. We work primarily with an immigrant population. With the current political climate are clients are stressed, and our staff is culturally sensitive to their needs. We have recently purchased a building and are embarking on a major renovation. As our program grows, we want to ensure that as we hire employees, we comply with regulations. 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.

I have personally worked with Taproot volunteers on other projects at another organization. So I am aware of what is involved, including flexibility with time. We have a template for a personnel manual, but we are amenable to recommendations from the consultant. I will work closely with the team at Life of Hope to ensure we respond quickly to any request by the volunteer.
