On LinkedIn, there are two categories of employees: 1. Those who couldn't secure desirable employment due to their lack of competence and continuously criticize their employer, as if performing their job duties in exchange for a salary is an act of charity. And abuse the job that supports them to take care of their family. 2. Individuals who have obtained positions that match their skills and experience, demonstrating dedication to their work, continuously improving themselves for future opportunities. They refrain from denigrating the job that supports their family.

The challenges of recruiting, retaining — and affording — a quality staff have only deepened since the pandemic. And today’s solutions can become tomorrow’s problems. Yes, the nonprofit world has hiring challenges, but a charity that bends too far to meet demands for more pay or better benefits may end up with a salary structure it can’t afford — or a staff that balks at being asked to do more. Here’s some #advice from nonprofit leaders about how to attract new employees and keep them engaged, plus some reasons to strike a middle ground between running a super-lean operation and one that lets employees call the shots. https://bit.ly/4bJYCdp

Major Gifts Officer Pay? One of the toughest challenges facing non-profits is setting salaries for staff. Resources are tight. I have to admit to being bias, but I believe the investment in hiring and especially retaining Major Gifts Officers yields robust returns and is worth every cent. Although, they can’t perform gift income miracles by themselves, supported by leadership and a genuine culture of philanthropy, they play huge roles in discovering, cultivating, soliciting and stewarding major gifts that make or break the success of resource development programs. Our sincere appreciation to Jimmy LaRose and Major Gifts Ramp-Up for featuring our article, What Is A Major Gift Officer’s Salary? on this timely challenge facing the non-profit sector: https://lnkd.in/gurwtHfB

I think some critical conversations and moments of self-reflection need to be had in the nonprofit sector considering salary ranges as they relate to both salary bands and total compensation for the hardworking employees that allow a non-profit to function. For many organizations, the low end of a salary range is going to be where people are the most overworked and exploited, no matter the quality of their contribution. Higher-end salary ranges usually only go to outside talent, and seldom ever to those who have paid their dues by working for that organization for years. If we want to build a more fair and just world, nonprofits cannot be exempt from fair and equitable compensation practices. #Nonprofit #Leadership #Finance

Unintended consequences? I wonder.... Great to be at Tuesdays Real Living Wage event in Invest NI offices promoting the need for more NI employers to sign up Mary McManus Bob Stronge. Advice Space gladly became accredited early this year. My worry is that the recent UK Government decision to increase employers NICs and lower the threshold to start paying, will place a heavy burden on many employers and charities as Chris Cupples of YMCA has highlighted on Linked in platform thus unintentionally meaning this policy decision may make some employers think twice about now applying ..or even prevent applications as its soon to be less affordable! Yet many funderand government contracts now require this accreditation. A rock and a hard place springs to mind with Government policy direction possibly leading to unintended consequences in efforts to raise billions by blanket policies! Let's hope this is realised and current mitigations are increased such as increasing the enic employers relief level of help currently available to smaller organisations (I think its £4-£5k annually or thereabouts). I do often wonder about some policy wisdoms when looking at both sides but thoughts welcome.....

🔥 HOT TAKE 🔥 Nonprofit salaries DO NOT *have* to be low. Nonprofit staff are doing every bit as professional a job as for-profit staff. Non-profit staff shouldn't be expected to trade in salary for "love of the mission" anymore than for-profit staff. It's budget season. Time to make it right. Pay your staff a fair, equitable, competitive wage for where they live. If that means you need to scale back programs and numbers of staff (at least for a while), so be it. But no more depressed wages with a side of guilt trip. No more partial furloughing while still expecting full time output. It ends with the 2025 budget. Make it right.
