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
The volunteer will support our mission by helping to set the ground work for our employees.
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.
