What many association professionals may not know is that while
the nonprofit sector has grown faster than the overall U.S. economy
since 1994 the industry as a whole is facing some difficult times.
When it comes to recruitment and retention of employees ranging from
front level workers to top level executives the industry seems to be
in a drought. While this seems like a scary phenomenon, there
is a little light at the end of the tunnel. The study by John
Hopkins Nonprofit Listening Post Project in 2007 found that the
sector was faced with numerous challenges, but that organizations
are addressing these challenges successfully. The following
were among the John Hopkins study findings:
-
90% of organizations reported adding at least one new employee
during the previous year; 80% experienced at least one staff
departure.
-
87% of the organizations agreed "somewhat" or "strongly" that
"an inability to offer competitive salaries" is a major difficulty
in recruiting.
-
An overwhelming 86% of organizations reported that they are
satisfied with the qualifications of the employees they have
recruited.
