Project details
What we need
- Review of job descriptions, pay structure, internal value, competitive market data, non-monetary rewards and benefits
- Recommendations for updating staff compensation and incentive plans
Additional details
Our Personnel Committee (lead by an lawyer specializing in employment law) has been working this year in reviewing our employee handbook, org structure, and benefit plans. We have a draft of a salary structure and position ranges which we used the PANO (PA Assoc of Nonprofit Org) most recent salary survey to benchmark salary ranges, but want we'd like assistance with reviewing to ensure we don't have any implicit bias before using.
What we have in place
- We currently have draft salary structure and position ranges, org chart, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have job descriptions and employee handbook (revised 2019), and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $6,746 , allowing us to invest in compensation and benefits as outlined in our new plan to provide more consistent services to our partners and participants.
As part of our strategic plan, we are seeking ways to improve our infrastructure, including how to attract and retain talented employees who are committed to our mission. We have experienced fairly high turnover at the top level (Program and Development Director) for our 15-person staff with a budget of $1.4M.

Our mission
Serving its 100,000th client this year, The Wardrobe's mission is to eliminate clothing insecurity and curb fashion waste. Whether it's workwear for a job search and employment, attire for a life transition, or casual clothing for everyday, The Wardrobe believes clothing shouldn't be a barrier to success. The nonprofit organization outfits 5,000 people annually and partners with 200+ community organizations.
Formerly known as The Career Wardrobe, The Wardrobe was started in 1995 and has locations throughout the 5-county Philadelphia region where they can receive personal assistance either in person or virtually by ordering a Wardrobe Box. Each year the nonprofit organization upcycles 200,000+ pounds of gently used and new clothing to provide a stable source of free quality clothing for its participants.
What we do
The Wardrobe believes clothing shouldn't be a barrier to success. We work to eliminate clothing insecurity which can mean not having anything to wear or not having the right thing to wear. Whether someone is in need of an outfit for work or everyday life, they receive access to free clothing while receiving the STAR Treatment - Styling, Time, Advice, and Respect.
Outfitted with clothing from The Wardrobe our guests are dressed to move forward to work to stabilize their lives after experiencing trauma, incarceration or homelessness or transition to work or move into a better job.
Our Wardrobes in Philadelphia and Delaware County, PA (and coming soon - Chester County!) provide a sustainable shopping experience for our supporters who share the sales floor with our participants while they select their outfits at no charge. For those outside our area, we offer the Wardrobe Box both as a seasonal subscription box similar to Stitch Fix for shoppers or personally styled for free for participants.
Our organization is a part of GSK Impact Awards US.
