Too few nonprofits have a dedicated human resource professional on staff. Yet, the moment your organization hires — or even considers hiring — a staff member, someone must understand the core human resource responsibilities, workplace regulations, and employment laws. 
  
This course provides a practical foundation in nonprofit HR essentials, with a focus on legal compliance and effective people management. You’ll explore the major workplace laws that shape the employment relationship, the value of sound policies and procedures, and core responsibilities like performance management, hiring, and compensation strategy. 
  
Additionally, this course addresses how HR practices must adapt to today’s rapidly changing workplace. You’ll gain tools to help your organization build inclusive and diverse teams, promote equity in decision-making, and create a culture where all employees can thrive.
