Employee Handbook Development

We are looking for a volunteer who can work with us to 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:

-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

Although based in Massachusetts, we are a 100% remote organization with employees and board members all over the world so experience with international organizations is required.

Since we are a start-up with a small team and a new board, developing an employee handbook will help us formalize our processes and ensure that we are following all of the proper procedures. Laying out the guidelines will help everyone know what to expect and what processes to follow so that we can focus on our mission.

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