Managing Remote Nonprofit Teams: 3 Strategies for HR Reps

Your nonprofit has learned how to keep its mission moving forward over the past year and half while many, if not all, of your team members have worked remotely. You’ve managed to continue your fundraising events in hybrid and virtual formats and hold remote meetings with major donors.

But having your team work from home comes with challenges. It’s your organization’s job to navigate those challenges carefully in order to keep your team members satisfied with their jobs and retain their talent far into the future. While this navigation requires nonprofit leaders and managers to be on the same page, much of the work falls to your HR team.
