Personnel Committee Volunteer

Save to Favorites

Think you might be interested in joining The George Street Co-op’s Personnel Committee?

Well we’re seeking volunteers.

If you have an interest in human resources, personnel policy writing, labor law, employee relations, and workplace issues the Personnel Committee might be of interest to you.

The function of our Personnel Committee is comparable to that of an HR department. We draft policies regarding the Co-op staff, revise and update the Co-op’s Employee Manual, see to it that employees are provided with a copy of the Manual and other required documents, assist the manager with implementing policies and complying with labor rules, check that employees’ files are kept up-to-date and that evaluations occur on schedule, handle official grievances, and conduct exit interviews.

In addition, we also assist the Board of Directors in conducting the manager’s evaluation.

Some projects we have worked on recently included:

• Conducting a round of confidential interviews with the Co-op staff.

• Submitting to the Board of Directors a list of recommendations based on the information collected from the above interviews, resulting in the enactment of several policy changes.

• Assisting the Membership Committee with an extensive revision of the Co-op Member Manual.

• Assisted the Meetings and Elections Committee with drafting a set of proposed amendments to Article I of the Bylaws.

A formal description of the Committee’s duties can be found in Article V Section II of the Bylaws:

The Committee meets virtually the fourth Wednesday of each month and meetings are open for all members to attend (but please check the calendar for changes).

So, if this sounds like an interesting way for you to work your volunteer hours, please contact the Committee Chair at personnel@georgestreetcoop.com
