Career management - even for the smallest non-profits - offers a strategic lever for stronger performance. Indeed, career management affects more than just employee satisfaction and loyalty. It drives better client service, faster identification of ways to deliver on your mission and increased opportunity for growth - for staff as well as for your organization.

It provides practical career management tools for you to use with employees in ways that advance thriving careers and build the capacity of the non-profit sector.
