Serving the community, providing education, tools, training and other vital services to a disadvantaged group, veterans, immigrants or others is the mission of most nonprofit organizations. While robust funding including donations, grants and fundraising events are essential to keeping an organization serving, it’s the employees that transform the dollars into actions that fulfill the mission. Whether it’s providing shelter to the homeless, food to the hungry or training and other services, nonprofit employees are on the front line of service delivery every day. This means that senior nonprofit executives need to spend time managing common employment challenges and issues. The 2017 Nonprofit Employment Practices Survey, conducted by Nonprofit HR, provides important insights into the hiring trends, practices and policies impacting nonprofits. To help clients, prospects and others understand the survey results and what it means for their organization, Wilson Lewis has provided a summary of key findings below.
About the Study
The survey includes responses from 420 nonprofit executives in the United States and Canada from organizations of various sizes. It was designed to collect information on nonprofit staffing, recruitment trends and retention best practices from nonprofit executives, HR Directors and Managers. The survey included a mix of input styles including multiple choice questions, rating scales and short answer questions to gain critical details on trends and practices.
