Human Resources
- A free, 12-week learning community for nonprofit humans reimagining how we work, lead, and care together.
- Address key human resources topics to strengthen your organization, your mission, and the community.
- Learn why wellness initiatives for nonprofit staff are more essential than ever and get activity ideas you can implement right away for your staff.
- Developed from ongoing nonprofit management research and the Center’s guide, Principles & Practices: Best Practices for North Carolina Nonprofits, this 6-session series facilitates learning, discussion, and fundamental management strategies around board governance, program design and evaluation, strategic planning, fundraising, financial management, and human resources.
- This session will help answer questions and provide a framework to consider related human resources decisions, financial commitments, communications and legal issues.
This practical workshop addresses the critical challenge faced by nonprofit organizations: maintaining passionate commitment to their mission while preventing staff burnout. Participants will explore the "passion-burnout cycle" common in mission-driven organizations and learn concrete strategies to create a culture that sustains both impactful work and team well-being. The session provides actionable frameworks for implementing sustainable practices at organizational, team, and individual levels.
- Learn how to create practices rooted in joy, shared purpose, care, and growth – rather than control, power, and fear – while also advancing team accountability.
- NAO invites you to this strategic Human Resources session to reforecast your staffing needs and support your team in these chaotic times.
Change is a constant, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Whether you’re currently facing change or fear change, having a plan makes all the difference. This session will explore change management theories, help you identify critical focus areas, and guide you in creating a Change Management Toolbox to plan for, manage, evaluate, and communicate change with confidence.
Participants will also have the opportunity to connect with peers, share experiences and bright spots, and gain tips for handling change when time is limited or uncertainty is high.
