Building Capacity for Effective HR Management

Index

This project focused on building the HR management capacity of organizations by gaining a better understanding of the HR management training and resource needs in the sector and identifying existing resources available to nonprofit organizations. The project involved a range of stakeholders including capacity-building organizations, educational institutions and a cross-section of sector organizations.

As the HR Council is not mandated to provide training directly, the aim of this project was to:

  • Asses the HR management training needs in the sector
  • Identify and compile a compendium of available HR management training opportunities and resources
  • Determine if there are gaps and develop strategies that could address such gaps

 

Results
