Employee Handbook
Project details
What we need
- Audit of existing Employee Handbook, or internal communications regarding employment policies
- Edit or creation of a new Employee Handbook, which may include any of the following: Standards of Conduct, Work Schedules, Leave Policies, Termination Policies, Safety and Security, Anti-Discrimination policies, Compensation and Benefits policies, any Non-Disclosure Agreements or Conflict of Interest statements that may apply, and any other pertinent information
Additional details
We are an organization that is on the verge of expansion, and want to have an employee handbook in place when we bring on new staff (we currently have just one staff member). Seeking someone who can assist us with creating our first Employee Handbook and ensure that we have our bases covered, so that we're following best practices.
What we have in place
- We currently have a payroll account with Gusto, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have access to Gusto's Employee Handbook templates, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,430 , allowing us to focus our efforts on staff recruitment to further our mission.
We're getting ready to add staff, and want to ensure we're doing it in a best-practice, forward thinking way. This will ultimately assist us with staff retention and sustainability.

Our mission
To improve the health and wellbeing of childbearing families through fitness, education, social support, and community engagement.
Our key focus areas are:
Human Milk Feeding Support and Advocacy
Perinatal Health Ecosystems Cultivation
Improving Access to Perinatal Health Resources.
What we do
We serve as a hub organization that connects pregnant and postpartum people to the resources they need to help them thrive, and work with other local organizations to promote policy, infrastructure, and environmental changes to create a Breastfeeding Family Friendly Community as outlined by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action. We also provide training in critical topics for perinatal health care and social service providers.
We are currently piloting a regional Birth and Early Parenting Resource Directory: a web-based directory of local pregnancy, birth, and early parenting resources informed by the needs of birthing people, new parents, and their providers. The platform will include a searchable, filterable database of support services offered by providers across our region. By identifying, verifying, and cataloguing local resources, this project will serve as a central gateway to facilitate access to community resources for both childbearing families and providers.
In addition, by quantifying and mapping local resources, the directory will serve to identify gaps in existing resources and provide a foundation for future initiatives to address these gaps. Content provided by local experts will include factors that contribute to maternal/infant health such as racial equity, evidenced-based maternity care practices, social support, reproductive mental health, and breastfeeding, thus reinforcing the site as a go-to place for reliable, trustworthy information and resources.
