What
is Driving You to Change Jobs or to Leave the Social
Sector?
|
We all
know that bright, committed and creative people join and work in social sector
because they are mission driven. Despite this devotion to mission,
studies have shown that nonprofit organizations experience significant employee
turnover.
Why
does this happen? One belief is that turnover is high because people in nonprofits
do not feel that their talent is being adequately developed and therefore their
ability to advance is compromised. Another driver is the
difficulty of many employees to effectively participate in the decision-making
processes of their organizations.
In
order to evaluate these theories we need your help. Commongood Careers and
Empowering Work Practices invite you to participate in a brief survey that
focuses on career development and decision-making.
All
survey respondents will be eligible to participate in a drawing
for a free two hour consultation with Empowering Work Practices which
will
examine your organization's decision making and career planning efforts.
As an
added incentive, the first 250 people who answer the survey will be eligible to
participate in a drawing for a $50 iTunes gift card.
Take the survey now.

What's Happening in Nonprofit Hiring
|
Visit the Commongood Careers blog to read the latest news and ideas related to
nonprofit talent, hiring trends, and more:
Legislation introduced to study and support the nonprofit sector
As a
coalition member of America Forward, we are delighted to share news about an
exciting advancement for the social innovation community and nonprofit sector at
large. Last week, a press conference was held in recognition of Congresswoman
Betty McCollum (MN-04) and the remarkable leadership role she is playing for the
sector through the introduction of the Nonprofit Sector and Community Solutions
Act in the House of Representatives.
"Wait...don't leave me!" What you should do now to minimize staff turnover
The ball dropped, the year changed, and the hiring started-at least that
was what happened at Commongood Careers as 2010 rushed in. Social
entrepreneurs that had temporarily slowed their growth efforts rushed
back in to high gear, looking for outstanding talent to leverage their
impact. Yet while this increase in hiring is great news for the sector,
it also means with so many exciting new opportunities beckoning, the
amazing people that you already have may be contemplating a change of
scenery.
