Normalise people switching jobs for better salaries instead of guilting them or branding them greedy and materialistic. Not everybody takes up a job thinking, "This seems like a great place to do some charity." Not everyone has the privilege of working purely for passion or for fun. For many of us, financial responsibilities, such as bills, are a significant factor. #worklife #salarynegotiation #themoraltroll #careerdevelopment #jobmarket #financialstability

Staff retention alert! 🚨 I always learn something from Agnes Zach and the Nonprofit Professionals Now (NPN)'s newsletters. This recent one had excellent tips for retaining staff- in case you didn’t know- retaining fundraising staff is a serious challenge in our sector. I’m on a mission to stop the revolving door. Try these ideas from the newsletter: ✅ Hold retention interviews: What do you like about working here? What do you need to continue working here? How can we recognize your good work? ✅ Provide incentives that recognize good work: This could look like pay increases or bonuses for work completed, additional time off, opportunities to attend a conference/training/professional development course, or recognition at a board meeting or staff event. Go beyond the individual and hold a staff party, a great opportunity to say thank you and we appreciate you! ✅ Start a mentorship or sponsorship program: Mentoring can help employees see opportunities and lean into them. Sponsorship means you see the opportunities or the path for the employee first and pave the path for your mentee to be considered. Both are necessary to ensure employees grow into their roles and the next steps beyond. Do you LOVE where you work or had a job that you remember fondly?  Why did you stay? Please share! ♥️ #StaffRetention #NonprofitProfessionalsNow #EmployeeEngagement #FundraisingRetention #RetentionInterviews #IncentivePrograms #RecognitionMatters #MentorshipProgram #SponsorshipOpportunities #CareerGrowth #WorkplaceCulture #EmployeeAppreciation #StaffDevelopment #RetentionStrategies

LinkedIn I need your advice.... My son moved to Edinburgh a couple of years ago and has been working for a company for the same amount of time. They paid him late a few times last year and then last month paid him £500 short, and this month haven't paid him at all but are still expecting him to work. Obviously he can't make himself unemployed (until he finds another job) as he won't get benefits, so he has asked them to make him redundant and they've told him they can't make him redundant until the 17th May (Due to legal reasons????) and are still expecting him to work, without any guarantee of getting paid. They have no funds in the business to pay staff so in my opinion, they must be trading insolvently. What rights does he have? He has no money for his rent (due tomorrow) or food or bills. (obviously I will pay his rent etc) Does anyone in Edinburgh know any charities who can guide him as he struggles to verbalise, especially when he is stressed and I'm 200 hundred miles away so can only help from afar. Thanks in advance for any advice! #hr #employentlaw

Good report on the #selfemployed from AEO, a nonprofit advocate for #microenterprises and #microfinance. Their study found 90% of the #independentcontractors surveyed preferred self-employment over having a traditional job. The main reasons are not surprising - self-employment's flexibility and freedom.

The advice "never work for free" is often given to emphasize the importance of valuing your skills, time, and expertise. It encourages individuals, particularly those in creative or professional fields, to recognize and assert the value of their work. While there are exceptions, and circumstances may vary, here are a few reasons why this advice is often provided: 👨💼 Professionalism and Value: Working for free can sometimes undermine the perceived value of your skills and expertise. Clients and employers may be less likely to appreciate your work if they haven't invested anything in it. 🌟 Establishing a Standard: Accepting unpaid work can contribute to a culture where people are expected to provide their services without compensation. This can make it difficult for others in the same field to negotiate fair compensation for their work. 💵 Financial Considerations: For many people, work is a means of livelihood. Working for free might not be a sustainable model for a professional or a business. 👍 Quality of Work: In some cases, the lack of compensation may lead to a lack of motivation, potentially affecting the quality of the work delivered. That said, there are instances where working for free might be justifiable or beneficial, especially in the early stages of a career when gaining experience and building a portfolio is crucial. Additionally, contributing to charitable causes, open-source projects, or collaborations with friends for mutual benefit are situations where working for free may have positive outcomes. Ultimately, the key is to make informed decisions about when and why you choose to work for free, ensuring that it aligns with your goals and values. It's essential to weigh the potential benefits against the costs and consider the impact on both your professional reputation and financial well-being.
