Can Corporate HR Policies Work for NGOs? Seeking Guidance on Creating an HR Manual

Dear All,

I am Chesta. I have recently joined the NGO sector. I am developing an HR Manual for my own organization, which is a non-profit NGO. I would like to know whether HR policies applicable to the corporate sector can also be applied to an NGO sector that is not profit-based. An HR Manual with clear-cut policies is made mandatory by many resource agencies for NGOs.

Guidance on HR Manual for NGOs

Can I get guidance in this regard? Has someone created an HR Manual for an NGO? I would be very happy to receive the same to develop mine and assist other NGOs as well. I am looking forward to your assistance.

Thank you and best wishes,

Chesta

To some extent, it's not applicable. It also depends on the NGO and the type of staff/employees they have. Review the NGO's future plans, as it will, I guess, help. Discuss this with your VP/CEO. That's my suggestion.
