Nonprofit CEOs want to compensate their staff competitively, but it can be challenging. Tight budgets, cautious boards, and competing organizational priorities can make investments in staff feel impossible before they even start. 

Yet the costs of leaving staff undercompensated — high turnover, low morale, and increased workloads for those who remain — can be devastating in the long term.  

Join us for this 75-minute webinar to learn from leaders who will share how they’ve raised staff compensation — salary, benefits, and beyond — and what it took to make it happen.  

You’ll learn how to:  

• Identify where your organization falls short on pay and benefits — and where to focus first 

• Use data to assess your compensation and make the case for investing in staff 

• Explore benefits and flexibility beyond salary — and determine which options could make the biggest difference for your staff 

You’ll leave with concrete steps to close the compensation gap — even when the budget isn’t there yet.
