ABOUT THE CLIENTImpact Society is a mission-driven non-profit organization with a growing team of 11–50 employees. As the organization expanded, its HR infrastructure had not kept pace with the needs of its people, operations, and long-term mission.
The team lacked clear policies, documented processes, performance management frameworks, and a complete understanding of where critical gaps existed. Led by Chris Primeau, Impact Society needed a sustainable HR foundation that would reduce operational risk, support employee development, improve retention, and allow leadership to remain focused on the work that matters most.
— THE CHALLENGE1
Growth without the HR foundation to support it
Impact Society had grown to a team of 11–50 employees doing meaningful work in the non-profit sector, but its HR infrastructure had not kept pace. The organization lacked clear policies, documented processes, performance frameworks, and a complete understanding of where critical gaps existed.
For a mission-driven organization where every person and every dollar matters, those gaps created real operational risk. Leadership needed a stronger HR foundation to support employee development, improve stability, and protect the continuity of the organization’s work.
— THE SOLUTION2
Building a sustainable HR roadmap from the ground up
Over more than a year, Rodina Ventures worked alongside Chris Primeau and the Impact Society team to develop a practical HR strategy roadmap.
The engagement focused on:
Developing clear HR policies
Reviewing and documenting key processes
Building performance management frameworks
Benchmarking compensation
Identifying gaps across roles and responsibilities
Rather than delivering a static set of documents, Rodina Ventures created a living HR cycle with an annual review framework the team could maintain, revisit, and strengthen over time.
From reactive HR to a stable, proactive system
3
— THE RESULTSThe work gave Impact Society a clear view of where employee development had been inconsistent and which roles depended on undocumented knowledge or processes. With those risks now visible, the team could address them before staff changes, illness, or turnover disrupted operations.
Impact Society moved from reactive HR management to a more proactive, sustainable approach. The organization gained stronger systems to support employee retention, team stability, and long-term mission delivery.
The result was more than a collection of policies—it was the confidence that the organization had the structure needed to support its people and remain focused on the work that matters most.
