Employee Handbook
Urban Boatbuilders, Inc.
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 have an Employee Handbook that needs to be updated to a) make sure it is compliant and comprehensive and b) reflects how awesome our employees are! Some feedback on our current one is that it has a negative tone.
What we have in place
- We currently have an unofficial Employee Handbook, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have ideas on how to make it better, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,430 , allowing us to get more Twin Cities youth building boats!
An Employee Handbook is essential! Urban Boatbuilders has experienced a lot of growth in the last few years and as we grow our systems and processes need to grow too. Plus, our employees are amazing and the handbook should be a comprehensive and welcoming guide to working here.

Our mission
It is the mission of Urban Boatbuilders to empower youth to succeed in work and life through woodworking and experiential learning.
What we do
In 1995 a small group of community leaders saw an increased lack of opportunities for youth to learn and develop through hands-on activities, and thus formed the nonprofit Urban Boatbuilders. Since that time, this lack of hands-on opportunities has increased, along with youth unemployment rates and an increased emphasis on standardized testing in schools. Urban Boatbuilders seeks to address the gap this creates for youth to gain technical, social, and emotional skills that will prepare them to pursue their academic and vocational goals. Since Urban Boatbuilders was founded more than 20 years ago, the foundations of hands-on learning and skill-building have been used to create and continuously improve strong programs that help youth prepare themselves to pursue their own success in the modern world.
