Finding and keeping exceptional nonprofit talent requires both competitive compensation and a winning organizational mindset that values staff wellbeing as much as client outcomes. Dan Leal joins Spring Richardson Perry to share Wisdom from his 20+ years of nonprofit leadership experience.
• Nonprofit compensation packages must include competitive salaries, quality health benefits (including Mental Health), and Retirement Planning
• Boards should shift from a scarcity mindset to a “winning mindset” when approaching organizational finances and hiring
• When hiring executives, look beyond impressive resumes to assess intangible leadership qualities through behavioral interviewing
• Creating diverse organizations begins with heart-centered authentic commitment rather than performative language
• Use Technology thoughtfully in hiring processes and maintain human judgment rather than over-relying on automated screening
• Take time with hiring decisions—your people are your organization's most precious resource
