Building Your Employee Handbook

An employee handbook is a necessary part of onboarding new employees, retaining current ones, and making everyone aware of the culture and policies of your organization. Whether you are a leader of a small or large staff, an employee handbook or manual is a vital, living document that all nonprofits need. Join us as we host Michelle Nicholson, Founder and President of AllProfit HR and Chief People Officer of Polaris, who will take us through building an employee handbook and how to use it effectively within your organization.
