1) Optimize Your HR Processes with Technology

Save Huge Amounts of Time on Administrative Tasks


Many issues specific to NPOs are solved by using an HRIS. One of these challenges is the lack of time to spare for workforce management  and manual processes: your top priority is the progress of your mission. Therefore, human resources administration can be a daily burden

Fortunately, a human resources management software allows you to delegate numerous time-consuming tasks (file management, data archiving, searching for and updating information, etc.), all the while reducing the risk of errors. 

Automation and dematerialization will save you precious time daily: from the paperless onboarding process to employee files and employee performance assessment, you will benefit from automated reminders and customized access by manager and employee at all times! 

Save time and focus on what matters most to you by implementing an HRIS adapted to your NPO’s needs!

Optimize Your Budget with a Flexible HRIS


The idea of implementing an HRIS can represent a financial investment that might put you off at first. 

However, by dematerializing the tasks related to human resources management in your organization, you avoid the cost of recruiting and paying an employee to handle administrative tasks that could easily be automated. In addition, some nonprofit HR software solutions are affordable and adapted to your financial reality

Reduce Your Turnover Rate with Career Management Features


New generations of workers want to progress and acquire new skills. 70% of employees say that their motivation to stay in the same job is influenced by training and professional development opportunities.

Effective training management is critical to reducing your turnover rates, which are exceptionally high in nonprofit organizations and costly to your limited budget.

Folks HR offers a comprehensive career management module to keep an eye on your employees throughout their career and provide them with fulfilling skills development opportunities. Similarly, the training management feature allows you to track your workforce’s certifications, with automated reminders when they need to be renewed

2) Evolve and Adapt: Digital Transformation in Nonprofits

The Importance of a Digital Shift for Your NPO


The current pandemic has demonstrated the need to digitize our processes to deal with organizational changes. As a result, digital transformation has become a mandatory shift for all organizations, and NPOs must also build a digital strategy to stay on course

Since these organizational changes primarily impact your workforce, it is essential to prioritize the digitization of your HR processes. This way, remote workers will not feel left behind, and your entire staff will benefit from your digital strategy.

Spread the Word on Your Mission


An HRIS can also help you promote your organization’s image. It will help you attract new candidates, raise awareness and increase donations, all the while while improving your employer brand

Indeed, an NPO using technological tools will be perceived as more modern and in tune with employees’ expectations. Your staff will also have more positive views to share about their experience with you. 

In the long run, this will also allow your NPO to have better visibility on social networks. In addition, the digitization of your processes will let you use your time to make your mission known both to the public and to donors

More Flexibility for Increased Employee Well-being and Performance


Using HR digital tools for nonprofits and performance management software in your daily processes will allow you to set up a flexible work environment in line with employees’ new expectations
