Filling an HR Coverage Gap for an Economic Development and Family and Youth Nonprofit

Economic Development, Youth & Family Services

A few hours a week filled an unexpected HR gap for this economic development and family and youth nonprofit: a rebuilt, fully compliant handbook, a modernized retirement plan, and performance reviews tied to real compensation benchmarks.

The engagement

An economic development and family and youth services nonprofit brought QuantumPath in to fill an unexpected gap in HR coverage. At 2 to 3 hours a week, the engagement covered the essentials without asking the organization to carry a larger commitment than the moment called for. QuantumPath rebuilt the organization's employee handbook from the ground up to bring it into compliance with local, state, and federal law, then guided the organization through retiring its COVID-era policies and managing the change that came with returning to office. Retirement benefits moved from a SEP-IRA to a SIMPLE IRA, giving staff a plan built for an organization with employees rather than one designed around a single owner. QuantumPath served as the organization's primary employee relations point of contact, available for just-in-time support as questions came up rather than on a fixed schedule. Performance reviews were redesigned around clear benchmarks tied to compensation, with defined scoring and real examples of what each level of contribution looks like. The organization now has a compliant handbook, a retirement plan built for its team, and a review process staff can see themselves in, all without adding to headcount.
