Meeting templates

DIY resources from the RadHR Core Team

DIY Meeting templates

Making policies together isn’t something that “just happens”. What policies are needed, who is involved in the process, and in what ways, are all significant questions that will have a big impact on the kind of policy you end up creating.

The templates below aim to help your team to run your own internal policy process and find your way through it together. Whether you’re deciding which policies you need to prioritise, adapting another group’s policy for your context, or trying to get team feedback on a new policy, these templates should help to keep the group focused and surface the questions that need to be addressed.

Workshop

Policy group feedback

A meeting template for small team feedback on a draft policy, with facilitation prompts to focus on the parts of the policy the team feel need the most work or there are more divergent opinions around.

Workshop

Policy pick-apart

A quick, easy, and flexible meeting template for groups looking to feel more confident in critically discussing radical policies.

Workshop

Socially just pay

A meeting template and tools to assess how different equitable pay adjustments would impact salaries and budgets, and working towards team consensus on the right approach.

Workshop

Prioritising policies bull’s eye

A quick way to decide which policies you need NOW! Have you just got a new grant and realised you need to show your funder a pile of policies you don’t have? Have you pulled on the thread of a suddenly-urgent parental leave or conflict policy, and realised there are a half-dozen more that are also pressing?

Workshop

Prioritising policies

Feeling overwhelmed by the number of internal policies and processes your group needs to create? Unsure where to start with it all?

Workshop

Adapting policies

So you found a policy in the RadHR Library that does most of what you think your group needs—what next?

Facilitation support

While we’ve designed these templates to make it easier for groups to hold their own collective policy making processes, we also recognise that having someone external facilitation can be really helpful.

As a small, part-time core team, we aren’t able to meet all of the requests that come our way, but we’re keen to support groups where we can, with external facilitation for any of the meeting templates listed above (we also have an Intro to radical HR workshop that we can run for groups and networks). 

How we decide if we are able to take on a piece of facilitation work is based on a few factors (outlined in our Workshop/consultancy criteria and costings policy), but if you’re interested and think we might be able to help, please do make a request. 

All our bespoke work is delivered on a sliding scale to ensure a wide range of groups—particularly smaller/unfunded ones—can access it.
