The Nonprofit Leadership Initiative is offering a “Nonprofit Forum: How to Maximize Your Employee’s Potential and Engagement with Low-Cost and High-Return Strategies”:

“Nonprofits face significant challenges in recruiting and retaining talent, often due to budget and other organizational constraints. In this half-day session, Lake Effect HR & Law’s Attorney Jane Clark and Senior Strategic HR Advisor Tricia Perkins challenge organizations to consider that the employee life cycle starts with recruitment and is best begun and fostered by maximizing and manifesting your mission, vision, and values throughout every workplace action, interaction, benefit, perk, policy, and procedure.

Jane and Tricia will guide participants through a review of low-cost and high-return strategies to boost employee engagement, attract and retain team members, and support the North Star that is your mission.

By attending this energetic and interactive workshop, participants will:

• Explore effective and low-cost trends in benefits and perks
• Discover strategies to boost employee engagement and retain high performers
• Design a comprehensive benefits & perks package team members truly value

This course is ideal for nonprofit leaders, managers, and HR professionals who oversee staff and support employee benefits, employee hiring, and employee development practices.
