As turnover affects every level of our nonprofit organizations, leaders are asking themselves "how do I attract and retain the talented people we need?" In?episode #191 of Your Path to Nonprofit Leadership, we speak with?Bert Armstrong, who has served more than three decades in the philanthropic sector, about navigating turnover. He discusses how to avoid turnover in the first place, the best approach to a search process when it's necessary, and how to better develop emerging leaders when change occurs.
"The nonprofit sector needs good leaders who will step into the work with intentionality and a commitment to the mission."
It's clear that nonprofit leaders can't afford to take a "wait and see" attitude toward turnover in the sector, but by being proactive in ways that address compensation, wellness, culture and advancement opportunities will help attract and retain the talent you need.
