HR challenges in non-profit and charities
When it comes to many charities and non-profits, their HR needs and challenges will be unique to every organisation, but common areas that need attention usually include:
- Health and safety issues that are project-specific i.e. there may be many areas to cover depending on the scope of what the charity or organisation does
- Employing staff
- Employing volunteers
- Compliance with all areas of employment law
- Operating within any applicable regulatory guidelines e.g. The Charity Commission
HR policies for charities and non-profits can be complex, due to the need to take into account different types of workers as well as meeting any regulatory guidelines for third sector organisations along with the standard UK requirements with employment law.
The consequences of getting things wrong in relation to HR in the charity sector can be serious, with potentially costly results if there are health and safety law breaches or employment tribunals. This is why it can be very beneficial for these organisations to consider specific charity HR services with extensive experience in this specialist area.
