We Are For Good Podcast - The Podcast for Nonprofits 506. 9 Nonprofit Trends That Matter in 2024: Retention is an inside job. - Jon McCoy, Becky Endicott, Evan Wildstein, and Michelle Flores Vryn
Welcome back to week three of our 9️⃣ Nonprofit Trends that Matter in 2024 Series! It’s time to name the elephant in the room: Retention. But we aren’t just talking about retaining our donors - the greatest retention issue that isn’t talked about enough is the retention of our nonprofit staff. For a sector built on relationships, we have to build a culture that creates retention from the inside out. After all, if our staff isn’t compelled to stay, why should our donors? 🤔Joining us to delve into this critical trend are two seasoned in-house nonprofit leaders, Evan Wilstein and Michelle Flores Vryn, CFRE. Together they conducted a comprehensive survey on staff retention—exploring the reasons people leave and, conversely, what motivates them to stay. The survey results, though disheartening, shed light on the reality we face. Join us to find out more about the reality of retention and where we go from here🧭
