Training for Your Nonprofit

Employee Retention in the Not-for-Profit World: Crafting the User Friendly Workplace
Date: Monday, April 27
Time: 2:30 – 4:00 p.m.
Location: Curtin Special Events Room, Le Moyne College

Events of the past months notwithstanding, statistics show there will be a shortage of talent in the coming years numbering in the millions. How will nonprofit organizations compete for the best talent at a time when corporate organizations are seeking those very same people? And how will those same organizations energize and enable employees who may feel “trapped” during this economic downturn? Executive Directors, Managers and Supervisors will benefit from this revealing program.

Renée Downey-Hart, Ph.D., visiting assistant professor of business administration, will share the results of a survey she conducted of more than 600 employees at 20 local nonprofit organizations that helps to answer those questions.

Downey-Hart is a well-known trainer and consultant whose work has offered her a global perspective of organizations and their people. She has been a partner in the Syracuse-based firm of Eagle Consultants for more than 20 years. Downey-Hart has been praised for her energy, humor and the ability to marry theory with practice to maximize performance.

This event is free and open to the public, and is sponsored by Le Moyne College’s Division of Management and the Madden Institute. Refreshments will be served. For more information, call (315) 445-4485. Please email your RSVP by Thursday, April 23: MaddenInst@lemoyne.edu. Please share your name(s), organization and phone in your email.
