| 8/17/23 |  The Value of Coaching for Non-Profit Leaders | Coaching is a powerful way for non-profits and leaders to go deeper into their core values and beliefs to determine their “why”. A coach approach can help organizations identify the cultural values they want to uplift in their organizations that in turn helps them strategize more effectively.

| 7/14/23 |  HR Trends: 2023 State of the Sector Report Reveals Common Concerns | On May 30, 2023, Vantage Point, together with Vancouver Foundation, Victoria Foundation, City of Vancouver, Vancity Community Foundation, and United Way BC, released “Safety Net” the 2023 State of the Non-Profit Sector Report. The report finds that British Columbia’s non-profits continue to be a safety net for communities, providing services and bridging gaps between government and the private sector. But the safety net is under pressure. BC’s non-profits continue to be driven by hopeful future-oriented visions, but human resource concerns remain prominent. While BC’s non-profits are doing more for communities and for their staff by meeting increased service demands and improving working conditions across the sector, during a time of increasing costs and staffing pressures, the SOTS report signals that even optimistic organizations are unable to thrive in the face of constant uncertainty about operational and funding sustainability. Our panel of human resources professionals in our sector, join host Cherie Payne, Director of Sector Development and Government Relations at Vantage Point, to explore the results of the sector report, the human resource concerns within, and what is needed to help these organizations survive. | — | ||||||
