Fifth Panel: Human Resource Challenges Impacting Financial and Mission Success

Human resource decisions are among the most important decisions that nonprofit organizations make. Nonprofit organizations need to attend to the same tasks as profit-seeking companies do when they turn to the challenges of establishing and maintaining an engaged work force. In order to achieve this many of the processes need to be simplified and streamlined including the following:  assessing human resource needs; screening, recruiting and selecting personnel, administering cost effect base and total cash compensation programs, having effective performance management and recognition systems, and employee retention programs. All of these decisions need to be made efficiently and effectively between the staff and board members.
