It&#8217;s what generates goodwill and donations from the public. And it&#8217;s arguably the most important consideration for the passionate and conscientious talent you\u2019ll need to drive you forward. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A recent study by executive recruitment firm Heidrick &amp; Struggles found that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.501c.com\/nonprofits-are-not-good-at-onboarding-board-members\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">91% of board members join non profits because they believe in the mission<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Those new recruits will expect that to be reflected in the training they receive from their first day the job. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With AdaptiveU, you can build your mission into every aspect of the onboarding process. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use the course builder to create mission-centric training. Brand the universities you\u2019ve created with your most important messaging. Award points for challenges which embody the ethos and purpose of your non profit. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AdaptiveU supports various kinds of media, so don\u2019t be afraid to pull videos, blogs or slides from other, like-minded organizations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inspiration can come from all over, but it will always find a home on AdaptiveU. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Create a culture of openness and increase donations<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Non profits are nothing without the trust and goodwill of the public. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies have shown that <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/scholarworks.sjsu.edu\/cgi\/viewcontent.cgi?article=1506&amp;context=etd_projects\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">almost a quarter of the money donated to non profit organizations in a given year comes from individuals.\u00a0<\/span><\/a>\u00a0That makes maintaining public confidence a crucial to part of your non profit&#8217;s success and ability to fulfil\u00a0its mission.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to cultivate that goodwill is to generate a culture of openness within your organization. That includes the training and sharing of knowledge your team members take part in. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With AdaptiveU, you can establish your commitment to open, transparent learning. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create profiles for every member of your team. Democratize the learning process by sharing admin rights, so that staff at all levels can take an active role in your universities. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can even ask prominent donors to join in, via email invites to your universities. Who wouldn&#8217;t want to learn what goes on behind the scenes at their favourite non profit?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Openness generates goodwill. Goodwill generates donations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Generate employee engagement to compete with the private sector<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Non profits often struggle to compete with the private sector when it comes to hiring, and retaining, talent. This won&#8217;t be news to you. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Budgetary constraints mean non profits can\u2019t always offer the salary and benefits necessary to attract the brightest young talent. That\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/linda-novick-okeefe\/nonprofit_hiring-_b_6517568.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">contributes to the high turnover among those working in the sector<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thankfully, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/linda-novick-okeefe\/nonprofit_hiring-_b_6517568.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pay and benefits aren\u2019t as important to prospective employees as \u2018engagement\u2019.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&#8217;s what makes a person join your non profit, and it&#8217;s the thing that makes them stay. So how do you drive engagement? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through continual learning. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Continual learning creates opportunity. Use AdaptiveU to foster a culture of continual learning at your non profit, adding challenges and setting daily, weekly, or monthly learning quotas. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create universities across different teams and departments. Expose your staff to new ideas and ways of working. Help them maximize their potential and grow as employees and individuals. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AdaptiveU\u2019s prices are competitive, and start from&#8230;well, nothing.
