Staffing Shortage Impacts Nonprofits
A recent report from the National Council of Nonprofits leads with the headline, “Labor shortage hits nonprofit organizations harder than other business sectors.”
This bold statement, which reflects the challenges of a global pandemic, represents the stark reality nonprofits are addressing every day. We invite you to join us for an informative program that will explore the nonprofit landscape as it becomes increasingly more volatile, uncertain, and complex.
Three well-known experts will lead this critical conversation, sharing their collective insights on trends, obstacles, and opportunities that are all colliding as never before, as a result of the scope and impact of Covid on nonprofit job vacancies.
Laura Crothers-Osborn, President, Crothers Consulting; Linda Czipo, CEO, The Center for Nonprofits; and Simone Sloan, Your Choice Coach, will focus on key points during this interactive webinar, including:
• A re-evaluation of how all nonprofits will manage human resources with resiliency and flexibility- today and tomorrow
• A conversation on how nonprofits can differentiate their organizations for both internal employees and external candidates by defining their inclusion, diversity, and equity strategy
• An exploration of the significant changes taking place in the workforce for nonprofits
• Suggestions on how nonprofit leaders can align their staffing initiatives with the mission, vision, and values of the nonprofit to foster a high performing culture of caring
