Leading Through Innovation: Defining the Future of Nonprofit Talent Management |
|
by Nonprofit’s HR Blog
In a world where talent is pivotal to organizational success, nonprofits stand at the nexus of unprecedented challenges in nurturing and retaining human capital. Our expansive study — drawing insights from over 300 participants in the 2023 Social Impact Talent Retention Practices Survey — unveils a clear blueprint for mastering talent retention in the progressive landscape of 2024 and beyond.
Unearthing the Core Determinants of Talent Mobility
The essence of our survey unveils three cardinal factors propelling talent turnover within the nonprofit sphere:
-
Career advancement opportunities: Individuals in the nonprofit sector seek a vibrant ecosystem where career evolution is not only possible but actively encouraged.
-
Compensation and benefits: A competitive compensation structure fortified with robust benefits is imperative, intertwining the passion for social impact with personal financial well-being.
-
Work-life equilibrium: With unprecedented organizational demands, establishing a careful balance between professional obligations and personal well-being is paramount, necessitating flexible and compassionate operational frameworks.

First 180-day report from the president of The Indianapolis Foundation |
|
by Dr. Lorenzo L. Esters
It is an honor and my pleasure to share the reflections and insights I gathered during the past six months as President of the Indianapolis Foundation. This report is a culmination of an extensive listening tour during which I had the invaluable opportunity to connect with many of you and understand your needs, aspirations, and concerns.
I have identified key priorities within our community through large group events, intimate focus groups, one-on-one conversations, and surveys.
Our community is rich in strengths, such as a strong sense of civic engagement and a vibrant cultural scene. However, challenges, such as disparities in access to resources and opportunities, require our attention and collaborative efforts. The need to stay the course towards achieving racial and economic equity emerged as a recurrent theme.
