About this Seminar
More than ever during the Great Resignation, all organizations must initially work to engage and retain valued employees. The CNM Equitable Nonprofit Workplace Report (ENWR, formerly the Compensation and Benefits report) recently found that 49% of nonprofit employee respondents intend to leave their organizations within 18 months. There is no time like the present to reassess our benefits and practices to retain employees and potentially lower that number. With minimal budget expenditure, organizations can make a difference in employee retention.
This interactive seminar will explore findings from the study and other insights into employee motivation for staying with an organization or moving on. We’ll learn from City National Bank’s leadership’s best practices and network with other participants to learn new and different strategies to implement within your organization.
Participants will better understand:
- Research findings on employment motivation and retention
- Effective strategies and approaches implemented by other organizations
- Learn new strategies and ideas ready for implementation
Who Should Attend: This program is designed for Nonprofit Board Members, Executive Directors, HR Managers and Fund Development staff.
Virtual Seminar
Optimized for the virtual environment, this seminar will consist of presentations, group discussions, breakout group sessions, polls and short breaks. This is an opportunity to do a deep dive on a new topic and leave with tools that you can put in to practice immediately.
