At EVH, we recognise that being an employer in the social enterprise and not for profit sectors can appear challenging.
Over the years, we have used our experience and expertise to build up a vast bank of resources that will help and guide your organisation in its role as an employer. You can find these resources across the whole website, including guides, model policies, flow charts and information notes.
All of our resources are designed to simplify the complexities involved and to help your organisation take the key actions needed for compliance with the law and best practice.
Along with this, we offer unlimited person to person support to EVH members, for those times when a bit more guidance is needed about how your organisation can meet its obligations in a way that’s right for you.
