Navigating Values-Based Management in the Nonprofit Sector: Embracing the Next Generation Workforce
Have you heard about values-based management in Canada's non-profit sector? Do you know its likely to be the future of management? As millennials and Gen Z increasingly dominate the workforce, understanding their unique deterrents and motivators is paramount to organizational success. Join Laura Champion, Senior Manager, Donor Response Marketing and Megan Spurrell, Specialist Donor Response and Digital Marketing as they delve into the evolving nature of work for millennials and Gen Z, highlighting their vales, aspirations, and expectations from their employers. Drawing upon research and real-world examples, we uncover how these cohorts define success for themselves and for organizations beyond traditional metrics. They will spotlight the challenges and opportunities faced by leaders from privileged groups in fostering inclusive and progressive workplaces without falling into the traps of patronizing attitudes, saviourism, and tokenism. By examining strategies for genuine allyship and cultural humility, we aim to empower leaders to create environments where historically marginalized voices are not merely heard, they are listened to. Central to the discussion is the concept of intersectionality and its practical application to breakdown systemic barriers and drive measurable change. Through case studies and actionable insights, participants learn to make diversity not just a buzzword, but an imperative for positive transformation.
