Guiding Practices for Nonprofits

  • Nonprofits should develop and implement procedures that allow employees and volunteers to informally express concerns and formally report and rectify grievances with a neutral external third party, if necessary.

  • Nonprofits should follow clearly defined and equitable procedures when taking disciplinary action.
     
  • Nonprofits should identify at least one person within the organization to be the point of contact for Human Resources issues. This individual should be provided with ongoing education and support in understanding the field of Human Resources and implementing industry best practices and maintaining regulatory compliance.
     
  • Nonprofits should create a culture where regular, open communication is a priority; internal information is shared appropriately; and employees are given opportunities to provide input about organizational activities and results.
     
  • Nonprofits should develop clearly defined, written whistleblower and grievance policies to protect employees. They should define the chain of command and appropriate communication mechanisms that employees use (e.g. phone, email, in person).
     
  • Nonprofit leaders should model transparency, fairness and honesty in every aspect of their communications.
     
  • Nonprofit leaders should communicate, model and hold themselves and employees accountable to the organizational values and principles, norms and behaviors expected of colleagues.
     
  • Nonprofit leaders should ensure that conflicting views can be expressed respectfully on the way to reaching resolution.
     
  • Nonprofit leaders should identify and implement opportunities that enhance a positive, ethical and inclusive working environment.
     
  • Nonprofit leaders should encourage employees and the Board of Directors to seek out and leverage the diverse values and perspectives of their peers and others within the organization.
