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
Audit, update and clarify language in our existing handbook.
What we have in place
- We currently have an employee handbook and additional policies and procedures, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have an updated on-boarding process and orientation presentation, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,380 , allowing us to focus our budget on bringing resources to the residents and businesses in Harambee & Riverwest.
We have been expanding out programs and our staff to better serve our community. Having an updated employee handbook will provide more clarity for incoming staff to understand their responsibilities, benefits, and the culture and expectations at Riverworks.

Our mission
Riverworks Development Corporation (RDC) drives social and economic development by aligning residents and businesses with specialized resources that strengthen Harambee, Riverwest and surrounding communities.
What we do
Financial Clinic: Provides innovative solutions to help families, individuals and small businesses reach their full potential by increasing credit scores, building wealth, and learning new ways to achieve short and long-term financial goals. The Clinic accomplishes this through one-on-one financial coaching, group-based education, free tax preparation services (VITA program), debt management, planning, goal setting, building banking relationships, and other referral resources.
Neighborhood Development & Creative Placemaking: Collaborates with residents and other stakeholders to create a vibrant community that reflects the culture and values of the Harambee and Riverwest neighborhoods. This includes activating and revitalizing public spaces, such as the Beerline Trail, with art and culture, facilitating community improvement and safety projects, and connecting residents and homeowners to resources - including those available through the Harambee Neighborhood Improvement District (NID) #7.
Business Development HUB: Provides technical assistance to local entrepreneurs and businesses along with business coaching, financial and grant resources. Services available to businesses include: property/business beautification strategies, security initiatives, marketing & promotional opportunities, and business planning. We connect property owners and entrepreneurs/small businesses to physical space, and offer networking and educational opportunities.
Riverworks Cleans: Hires community members who have barriers to employment through this social enterprise program. They serve the community by cleaning up sidewalks and curbs, vacant lots and commercial districts. Services include litter and graffiti removal, event set up, minor landscaping, streetscape maintenance, and returning stolen property. Contracts include private businesses, BIDS, and the City of Milwaukee.
Real Estate Development: Leads catalytic residential and commercial projects which have a positive economic and social impact on the community.

RDC has completed $11.6M in development, including two commercial projects (over 47,000 square feet) and 36 affordable apartments.
Testimonials
Jane was incredible to work with! She was very knowledgeable, turned the project around quicker than expected, and went above and beyond with helping us not only complete the employee handbook, but also update other additional policies we should put in place. The final product exceeded our expectations, and I would 100% recommend working with Jane on your next project!
Truly enjoyed the interactions with Riverworks Development Corporation's (RDC) Business & Accounting Manager, Debbie Powers. Great experience working with Debbie and learning about RDC and the work they do for the community.
