Westdale Nature School Employee Handbook Development

Westdale Nature School is seeking to create a comprehensive employee handbook that embodies the school's ethos and clearly outlines the roles, commitments, and opportunities available to its staff. The project aims to provide a resource that not only informs but also inspires employees by using language that is both accurate and descriptive. The handbook should be presented in a format that is creative, visually appealing, and easy to read, ensuring that it effectively communicates the school's values and expectations. This project will allow learners to apply their skills in writing, editing, and design, drawing from their classroom knowledge to produce a professional document. The end goal is to have a handbook that serves as a cornerstone for employee engagement and understanding within the Westdale Nature School community.
