What challenges are you currently facing in your

Regulatory Complexity?

Data Privacy & Security?

Ensuring compliance with data privacy laws, such as protecting employee information.
Maintaining secure HR systems and preventing data breaches.

Navigating compliance as a nonprofit organization can be a wild ride.

Scaling your nonprofit requires more than just growth; it demands the creation of systems and structures that ensure compliance with workplace regulations.

We understand the delicate balance between maintaining your unique culture and implementing the policies, handbooks, and new hire packets necessary for seamless operations.

With our specialized HR compliance solutions for nonprofits, we simplify the process, making it both accessible and affordable. Let us guide you in obtaining the essential products your organization needs to thrive, allowing you to focus on what truly matters – making a lasting impact on the causes you champion.

Here's how our compliance products can help you:

We have worked with all kinds of nonprofit organizations in the U.S and within multiple industries. Wherever you are along your journey, we’ve seen it before and can make sure you have the key foundation pieces you need for success.

Our HR compliance solutions for nonprofits include:

Employee Handbooks & Workplace Policies

An employee handbook details policies and expectations to keep everyone on the same page.

We start from a clear and thorough, attorney-reviewed handbook which is customized and branded for your organization and create attorney-reviewed annual updates to help you stay compliant.

We can advise you on the policies your nonprofit needs based on your size, industry and location. We’ll ensure they are clear, useful, and attorney-approved.

New Hire and Termination / Separation Packets

Get off on the right foot with new hires by having a new hire packet with everything necessary for a compliant first day.

When the time comes for an employee to move on, voluntarily or otherwise, a termination or separation packet will give you confidence and offer protection during what can otherwise be a stressful transition.

Injury and Illness Prevention Program

An Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) is a program that enables employers to proactively create a safer environment for their workers.

Many states, including California, require one. Even if yours doesn’t, it’s just a good idea. With our HR compliance services, we can help you get your IIPP up and running and support your ongoing safety training goals.

HR Function Assessment

You think you’re doing everything right, but are you? Where are your biggest exposures? Wouldn’t it be great to know and shore these up so you can sleep better?

We review the compliance aspects of the lifecycle of an employee including recruiting, onboarding, performance, payroll and compensation, classification, benefits, LOA process, all required documentation, separation, wage and hour issues, and much more. We’ll provide a prioritized summary report of our findings and suggestions for best practices.

Employee Engagement

Retention is a big deal – especially when recruiting is a challenge. Motivated, engaged employees are more likely to stay. Investing in your employees is investing in your nonprofit organization. We keep your employees learning and evolving so they grow with you. Here are a few ways we can help:

Leadership and Management Coaching
Stay Interviews
Employee Culture and Engagement Surveys
Succession Planning

Leaves of Absence

We can help you slog through the seemingly unending list of acronyms related to LOA’s (see what we did there?) From CFRA to FMLA, we can help with federal leaves, California leaves, San Francisco and other city-specific requirements. There is an incredible amount of documentation required for leaves of absence. We can provide the documentation with a repeatable process, and support Reasonable Accommodation requests as well.

What our clients say:

"Next Level Strategies has been an invaluable resource for my small business for the past 11 years. I can run my business and stay on top of any changes in labor laws with the confidence of their proactive guidance. NLS is an absolute pleasure to work both in professionalism and ability to get to know me and my business and personalize the services they provide my company. From creating my Employee Handbook, providing updated & compliant HR related forms & advice, I can’t recommend them highly enough!"

"When I started my business, I had so much on my plate that I had no idea I needed any HR advice. I ran into some issues when trying to fire an employee and, after the frustrating experience, I was referred by a fellow business owner to NLS. They are incredibly knowledgeable, always quick and thorough with answers and proactive about following up. Their suggestions and advice have saved me a lot of headaches. I highly recommend NLS, especially if you're a small business and can't hire a dedicated, in house HR person."

"I absolutely credit Next Level Strategies for the streamlined, efficient, and comprehensive hiring and onboarding process that they helped us build. They provided the framework for what is still being used today. They're extremely knowledgeable in all matters HR and are genuinely passionate about what they do. I felt from beginning to end that they truly cared about the best interest of my company."

"Next Level Strategies was an amazing resource for my small business. As we doubled in size and grew to 20 employees and contractors, I knew I could rely on them to take care of employee on-boarding while I focused on customers and developing the management team. When the inevitable HR situations arose, I had a trusted partner with deep experience to rely on. I would recommend Next Level Strategies wholeheartedly and without reservation."

"I was very impressed with how knowledgeable the team at Next Level is and how quickly they were able to get us compliant. The level of customer service is noteworthy - everyone on the team understood our urgency, never made us feel "less than" for not having these things in place already, explained in clear detail what needed to happen and why, and were able to do so at a manageable cost. I would highly recommend the entire team at Next Level Strategies, and we look forward to our ongoing partnership with them."
