Project Overview
We are looking for a volunteer who can develop an employee handbook. 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:
-Identify policies that should be addressed and included
-Present a detailed outline of a new handbook
-Finalize the handbook after receiving feedback from our teamWe are an early stage nonprofit and are ready to start hiring our first employees! We are excited to move to this stage, but with limited funding it's hard to do without some help. To prepare, we've designated a team member to oversee the project. We'll provide you with our existing policies and things that we would like to have included in the handbook. The volunteer should expect to spend 15-20 hours over 4 weeks.
Nonprofit Overview
TResearch is an education policy research group providing objective analysis, deep insights, and detailed recommendations for organizations seeking to support equitable student outcomes and promote community and economic development through education. TResearch’s mission is to conduct work that is student-centered, informed by the experiences of today’s learners, particularly those who have been traditionally underserved by our education system. This includes students with children and students with disabilities, students that are first generation, from racially minoritized backgrounds, from rural communities, and students with intersections of these and other identities. To realize our mission, TResearch conducts and publishes research, provides data capacity building support, and acts as a liaison between students, education institutions, and policymakers through advocacy and communications. TResearch has expertise in a variety of education policy issue areas, as well as in report development, data visualization, building data infrastructure, and working with public and proprietary student data sources. At TResearch, we believe research is a tool to empower action, whether it be in the classroom, on campus, or in Congress. Our vision is to conduct work that increases equitable access to education as a catalyst for student and community success. Increasing and equalizing access to education is the first step in breaking down historic and ongoing structural barriers to racial and social justice, and to improving the well-being of all people.
