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.
The job search and hiring process has changed. Whereas in-person interviews were once the norm, the pandemic moved us to Brady Bunch-style conversations on platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, GoToMeeting, and Google Meet. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
One of the largest pain points inside nonprofits is bandwidth. We feel it nearly every time we walk into a client. And one of the largest investments for a nonprofit is normally personnel. Every dollar counts and is a strategic investment in your mission. Your next hire is important, whether it is a new position or refilling an existing position.
As this new decade unfolds, fearless leadership is essential to meet the challenges facing our communities. Where are the innovative architects who will address our complex problems? Perhaps the nonprofit sector offers some of the state’s best talent.
Whether you’re ready to expand your organizational capacity and move forward with purpose, or just want to talk shop, we’d love to connect.
