Staffing Analysis

Volunteer Program Design

Why is it that some organizations get lots of volunteers, while others have a hard time getting anyone to show up for service opportunities? The difference is the volunteer program. Every organization needs a written volunteer program, to guide decisions on how to recruit, schedule, and recognize volunteers. do good Consulting will work with you to develop a volunteer program that best fits with your organizational needs.

Job Descriptions for Staff & Volunteers

Job descriptions are a must for all positions within an organization. Otherwise, how can volunteers know what they are expected to do?

Leave the tedious writing to us - we can interview managers and staff, and create or revise job descriptions for your organization. We can also create job description templates that your human resources staff and managers can use to create their own job descriptions.

Employee Orientation & On-Boarding

When new employees start, does your organization have forms and materials ready for them? Do managers plan initial work assignments so new staff members can get acclimated to their new job while at the same time making a contribution right away? If your organization is scrambling to figure out what to do each time a new employee reports for work, turn to do good Consulting to help you develop an orientation and on-boarding program.

Wondering if your salaries are competitive? do good can undertake an analysis of organizations like yours to make an apples-to-apples comparison of salaries.

Employee Manual & Policy Development

The importance of an up-to-date employee manual cannot be overstated. The employee manual is a fundamental communication tool between management and employees.

Separations
