Managing Well
At the Rozsa Foundation we aim to provide resources to Arts Managers and arts administrative staff. In our Managing Well section we will provide links to HR Templates, and other material that can help you run a sustainable arts organization!
HUMAN RESOURCES TEMPLATES
The Rozsa Foundation is pleased to provide a series of HR related tools we will be posting to our website from the HR Council for the Voluntary & Non-profit Sector.
1) Employee Handbook
Please read the "Note to users" as the handbook is meant to be an example, and your organization will need to modify the contents to ensure your needs are met specifically.
2) Job Descriptions
The HR Council website provides examples of common Job Descriptions such as Executive Director, Director of Development and Program Director.
