Our CEO recently left our non-profit organization to take another job. She is now requesting a copy of our employee handbook as well as some other orientation materials that she would like to use at another non-profit where she's a member of their board of directors. I'm not sure about this. Does anyone see any concerns about sharing this information? Our handbook is a pretty thorough policy guide and reviewed by legal counsel any time changes are made to it. |

Look folks-If we are talking about true "not for profit organizations" we know that they normally are very tight on budgets. In addition often times the staff is not the strongest and needs help.
I say go ahead and share as long as your CEO is ok with it. Lets try to help these folks where it is reasonable to do so. |

I agree with Nork. What is the harm in providing this information? We do this all the time with other HR people wherein we share our policies, etc. in an attempt to help others. Why should this be any different? |

I understand that non-profits have tight budgets, and I don't have a problem with organizations sharing their property. However, I don't think it's up to an HR rep to give away company property on an ex-employee's say-so. As one respondent here sais, it must be OK with the CEO first. |

I agree that any sharing of organizational documents needs to be okay'd by the CEO/Director of the NPO.
And I would also caveat in a cover letter that the new organization should have their own employment counsel review the handbook for their purposes. You don't want any liability to come back and bite you. |
