For those of us who work in the nonprofit sector, we are fueled by our passion to tackle some of our communities’ greatest issues. Yet, how often do we resolve the conditions that put us, as workers, in vulnerable situations? Our sector is now engaging in pressing conversations around issues such as fair income, health and retirement benefits, stable employment, opportunities for development and advancement, equality rights, and more. All of us play a key role in positioning the nonprofit sector as decent work leaders and making the nonprofit sector a compelling choice for prospective and current employees.
This webinar delves into ChangeWork: A Decent Work Movement For The Nonprofit Sector, an 18-month project between the Ontario Nonprofit Network, Mowat NFP, and Toronto Neighbourhood Centres to promote decent work for the nonprofit sector.
In this webinar, you will learn:
The definition of decent work and how it can provide a framework for our sector
The barriers to decent work and the possible solutions
The initiatives that are in progress that will move us toward decent work
How you can get involved with the decent work movement
Our people are our most valuable resource. Let’s continue to nurture and sustain the passion, motivation and creativity of the people who support and transform our communities, every day.
Eager to jump in? Take a read through ChangeWork: Valuing decent work in the not-for-profit sector before participating in the webinar.
