One of the biggest challenges nonprofit organizations face today is the ability to recruit and maintain high-quality staff. In 2017, Nonprofit HR reports that 81% of organizations lack a formal retention strategy. With a growing mission-driven market, talent has far more options, making quality employees hard to find and even harder to keep. Outsourcing is a great solution to this problem.
