Event Description

Title
The Intersection of HR and Financial Strategy in the New Economy

Presenter
Scott Schaffer, Principal, Public Interest Management Group

This interactive session gets to the roots of a central challenge of our time: charting a strategy to thrive financially despite inflation, labor shortages, and a potential recession.

This decade has brought new challenges for nonprofit leaders, such as a tight labor market, inflation, and a range of staffing issues, all affecting organizations’ financial performance. This session will explore a strategic framework for considering short-term HR management priorities in the context of promoting longer-term financial sustainability.

Participants will:

  • Understand key elements of financial strategy, including the five components of the nonprofit business model.
  • Deepen their understanding of strategic approaches to HR management and its connections to financial strategy.
  • Identify actions organizational leaders can apply to short- and longer-term human resource challenges.

Automatic closed captioning via Zoom is turned on by default for all NAO virtual sessions. For other accommodation requests, please contact us at training@nonprofitoregon.org. Advanced notice of at least 10 days is appreciated.
