561. Building a Durable + Retention Focused Team Culture - Channon Lucas, Lindsey Fuller, Michelle Flores Vryn, and Jennifer Mulholland

We Are For Good Podcast - The Podcast for Nonprofits

Meet Channon, Lindsey, Michelle, and Jennifer. They’re here to help us name the elephant in the room: retention🐘 But, we aren’t just talking about retaining our donors - the greatest retention issue that isn’t talked about enough is the retention of our nonprofit staff. For a sector built on relationships, we have to build a culture that creates retention from the inside out. Tune in to this replay from the Responsive Nonprofit Summit that doesn’t hold back on what we need to do to create working environments teams won’t need to heal from.
