We all thought things would be back to normal by now but, instead, our numbers are increasing daily. Keeping anxiety at bay is important to ensure productivity, especially when most of us are working remotely. When the body and mind are thrown into an unknown like the pandemic, we react by preparing for a temporary change in everything. Now temporary is becoming long-term and we need to again adjust to working differently and handling the anxiety and stress that comes with change.
As a board, search committee, or executive director you have put so much time and effort into hiring a new employee – now what? You’ve hired a consulting firm, like Armstrong McGuire, to conduct a search for a new employee. How do you make sure they are onboarded correctly, performance measures are in place, and an environment promoting longevity is achieved – especially during COVID-19? As nonprofits start to come back into the office full-time, a few days a week, or continue to work virtually, there are many ways you can onboard your new hire during the pandemic.
"National Philanthropy Day is celebrated annually on November 15th. This day signifies the importance of working together for the common good.

Think back to when you moved to your current location. When you first moved in, maybe you met a few neighbors and then eventually began to meet more neighbors. And after a few years you know most of your neighbors (or at least what kind of car they drive, how many children they have, and who mows their lawn at 7 a.m.). You have now built a pipeline of neighbors that hopefully you can call on in an emergency, chat with as you arrive home or leave for the day and, if you are lucky, socialize with throughout the year.
