About This Resource
This toolkit was initially created for our CA:RISE program, and is now available to the field!
Purpose
The purpose of this handbook is to help identify the key decisions necessary for operating a day-to-day workforce program within an employment social enterprise (ESE). Each section of the handbook includes a description and an example of the completed section.
This document provides ESEs with a comprehensive set of standard operating procedures for running a highly effective Employee Success Program.
Employee success includes:
- the intentional design of the employee pathway
- the individual activities, services, and benefits that help employees
- the training that supplements work experience
This guide supports ESE leaders in planning and articulating all three of these components. It guides ESE leaders through the process of defining their employee success program, enabling better management and clarity. Often, leaders are asked to manage abstract ideas rather than concrete programs. By clearly outlining the program, ESEs will have a well-defined set of expectations. The handbook begins with an overview of the theory and practice of workforce programming, followed by a detailed framework for moving participants from initial entry to a successful exit, resulting in transformational change.

About Flying Whale Strategies
Flying Whale Strategies is supporting a new wave of nonprofit leaders who design definitive solutions to age-old problems. These leaders are working on deeply rooted challenges that have no foreseeable solution: hunger, the education system, criminal justice reform, the climate crisis, the refugee crisis, to name a few. And yet despite the enormity of these challenges, we believe nonprofit leaders could begin with the question, “Why can’t we?” They offer consulting and training in: culture, leadership, development, and operations.
