Employees can be your most valuable asset, as well as a significant liability to your nonprofit. By approaching human resources from beginning to end, you can set the stage for a successful partnership with your employees. A cohesive environment will set the stage for employees being their best, creating opportunities and creativity. Often these same roles are filled by volunteers and having successful strategies will help you help your organization be the best it can be!
In this workshop we will be covering what you need in place before you are ready to hire, assessing your organization’s culture and best practices when seeking your next team member, what tools and methods can be employed to show them you value them, and how to support your team as a whole when its time for that employee to leave the organization.
