How to retain and recruit the team you need
The talent gap is widening for nonprofits.
And so is the skills gap.
Most nonprofit leaders report that hiring is their #1 challenge in the coming year.
Not only is a difficult to recruit employees, it’s also difficult to compete with for-profit companies to hire those with the digital skills needed to help nonprofits thrive in the future. And it’s difficult for nonprofits to keep the employees they want.
Check out these numbers:
- 35.1% of nonprofits report hiring is top challenge for management.
- 53% of management say their top priority is better engaging employees; 52% improve culture.
Looking beyond the money
Solving the talent gap isn’t just a question of money.
Research show that beyond pay levels, the talent and skill gap in nonprofits can be attributed to:
- A workplace culture that doesn’t fit the new talent demographic (millennials and Gen Z).
- The culture that encourages employees to exit versus engage.
- A lack of internal upskilling or career pathing.
- No formal recruitment or retention strategy.
- The mission and vision is lost between leadership and staff.
- Employees often don’t see how they contribute to the mission.
