Small Charities & Not-For-Profits
About you: You run a charity or not-for-profit organization. You have less than 100 employees and volunteers combined. You don't have an HR team, or a dedicated HR person supporting your employees (outside of payroll and basic admin work, which maybe you still do yourself). Your HR needs are pretty simple, and you may have a pretty small budget - or no budget at all - set aside for HR. Here's some of the most popular services we offer for small charities & NFPs to add value, protect you, and give you back time in your day.
Outsourced HR
Let us be your HR team! This option is significantly less expensive than hiring your own part-time or full-time HR person, and is perfect for smaller organizations. It saves you time and makes sure that you're compliant with provincial and federal legislation.
Performance Management
When employees or volunteers aren't meeting expectations, we're here to offer guidance and support. We'll assist you in navigating those challenging conversations, documenting the process to ensure legal protection, and determining next steps if initial efforts prove unsuccessful. Rest assured, we're committed to helping both your employees and volunteers thrive.
​
Terminations
When it's time to bid farewell, whether to employees or volunteers, count on us for support with paperwork, conversations, and severance calculations. Terminations are pivotal moments prone to costly errors. Even for voluntary departures, we conduct exit interviews to glean valuable feedback. This insight fuels informed decisions for future enhancements.
​
Investigations
When an employee or volunteer reports feeling bullied or if there are concerns about timecard accuracy, it's crucial to address them properly. Our trained HR investigators can conduct thorough investigations to protect your organization. We'll provide detailed findings and recommend next steps to ensure a fair and respectful workplace for all.
​
Those Random Questions
We're here to assist with inquiries like vacation entitlement, sick time requests, and medical accommodation needs for both employees and volunteers. Unsure about the next steps? Just reach out via phone or email, and we'll provide guidance tailored to your unique business needs, every step of the way.

Employee Handbooks
Handbooks - and the associated policies that go in them - are arguably one of the most important pieces of HR that a small organization can have. If you already have a handbook, we can help by reviewing it and identifying any weaknesses or ambiguous language. And if you don't have a handbook, we've got lots of ways to help you there as well.
Handbook Review
We specialize in reviewing and enhancing your existing handbook to ensure comprehensive coverage for both employees and volunteers. Our recommendations may include adding policies to safeguard your organization and clarifying ambiguous language. We'll identify and resolve any policy conflicts to mitigate future risks, ensuring compliance with employment standards.
​
Handbook Creation
Starting from square one? Let us guide you through the handbook development process, tailored for both employees and volunteers. After understanding your organization's unique requirements, we'll propose policies you may overlook. From initial drafts to full development, we'll craft a comprehensive handbook that aligns with your business objectives and compliance standards.
​
Policy Writing
Handbooks are vital for both employees and volunteers, offering protection and setting clear expectations. We assess your needs and craft personalized policies from scratch or refine existing ones. Our tailored approach ensures your handbook aligns seamlessly with your organization's objectives and safeguards against potential risks, fostering a positive and compliant work environment for all.
Graphic Design
We provide graphic design services for both employee and volunteer handbooks, whether we've created them or not. Transforming dull Word documents into visually engaging guides, our designs are tailored to reflect your brand and workplace culture, making them not only informative but also visually appealing and engaging for all stakeholders.
