Personnel Policy Updates

We are looking for a volunteer who can update our existing personnel policy. We're hoping to find a partner with a background in HR and/or operations to improve transparency and accountability by clarifying our employees’ legal rights and our policies, benefits, and other expectations for performance and conduct in a revised policy that includes changes to Minnesota employment law over the past two years. This project will contain the following activities:

-Conducting an audit of our existing policies including reviewing our existing materials and asking any clarifying questions
-Identify policies that we should modify and any new policies or areas that should be addressed and included
-Present a detailed outline of a new handbook
-Finalize the handbook after receiving feedback from our team

We're a midsize organization (budget-wise) with a small staff stewarding a big site in order to advance art and ideas. With less than 10 employees, most of whom are part-time, each person who works at the Anderson Center is multi-talented. HR expertise, however, isn't our strong suit. We want to support our staff to the best of our ability so that they can focus on supporting innovative artists!

To prepare, we've designated a team member to oversee the project. We'll provide you with our existing personnel policy, internal communications regarding employment policies, and any other employment policies that we have in place. The volunteer should expect to spend 15-20 hours over 4-5 weeks.
