E.D. Exchange: HR Pitfalls That Quietly Drain Your Nonprofit’s Budget

Many of the most expensive HR issues start with small oversights that grow into costly problems over time. In this interactive workshop, we’ll uncover the hidden HR pitfalls that quietly drain nonprofit budgets, including worker misclassification, incomplete documentation, compensation practices that create risk, turnover vulnerability, and gaps in succession planning. Using a practical self-audit scorecard, participants will assess their organization’s current practices, identify areas of risk, and leave with clear, actionable first steps to strengthen compliance, reduce liability, and build a healthier workplace.
