Policy
Unlimited paid holiday policy
This holiday policy outlines our approach to annual leave. We offer all workers unlimited paid holiday (UPH), regardless of length of service. In doing so, this policy aims to offer a generous, flexible approach to leave that helps everyone to feel empowered and supported.
Policy
Peer review policy & procedure
This peer review policy and procedure aims to support all employees to achieve and maintain their maximum (reasonable) contribution to their role at the project. It’s an opportunity for all employee members to have time to reflect on their role, to think about how their work is going and what the issues are. It’s a chance to have someone else engage with their job, listen to them and support them with anything they need help with, and to grow and develop within the role.
Policy
Culture of care & accountability
We have high expectations of how we behave towards one another, and we hold each other accountable to those expectations. This policy has two sides: the culture of care that we are proactively building, and the culture of accountability that is reactively implemented. Includes: definitions of accountability and care, 3-step process for addressing harm and intro to transformative justice principles.
