Employee Benefits

If you want your nonprofit to provide value to your community, you’ll need skilled and experienced staff. Though you may not be able to offer salaries competitive with for-profit employers, a good plan of affordable benefits can help attract qualified candidates and, once hired, keep them for the long term. In this session, an expert panel discussed the need for various types of employee benefits to support recruitment and retention.
