Trends in Nonprofit Hiring & Compensation

Chronicle of Philanthropy Webinar
Tuesday, Oct. 27, from 2-3 pm Eastern time.
Inside access to a new Chronicle study on nonprofit employment trends from more than 1,000 respondents from organizations nationwide.

In a time of slim donations and increasing need, how are nonprofit groups handling one of their most important tasks — attracting and retaining the most talented workers? And what impact is the recession having on pay for nonprofit chief executives and other workers?

The Webinar will include:

* The release of new Chronicle data on employment trends from more than 1,000 respondents at nonprofit organizations nationwide.
* New information from a major compensation consultant on exactly how nonprofit employers are adjusting pay to reflect current economic realities
* Advice on recruiting in a "buyer’s market" and keeping staff morale high in tough times.

Expert guests include Susan Egmont, founder and principal of the executive-search firm Egmont Associates, and Chris Thompson, the Chronicle of Philanthropy's director of editorial research.
