Strengthening your nonprofit through more equitable and inclusive hiring practices
|
|
by Rick Cohen, National Council of Nonprofits
Equitable and inclusive hiring is not just a moral imperative; it's a strategic effort that strengthens your organization by bringing varied perspectives, experiences, and skills to your nonprofit. Simple changes to your hiring processes can help make your team more diverse—and help fill job vacancies in this era of significant workforce shortages in our sector. Even if your nonprofit is located in a state with recent policies that discourage or even ban overt efforts to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I), there are easy steps your nonprofit can take to make your hiring practices more equitable and inclusive.
