What if you train them and they leave.. What if you don’t and they stay?

This week, we emphasize the importance of investing in professional development for nonprofit employees. While for-profit organizations readily allocate funds for training, nonprofits often hesitate due to concerns about employee turnover and funding constraints. However, we argue that focusing on the benefits of training, such as improved skills, leadership, and efficiency, can lead to a more skilled and dedicated workforce, ultimately enhancing their ability to fulfill their mission. Let's encourage nonprofits to view professional development as a vital long-term investment rather than a mere expense, enabling them to make a greater impact on their communities.
