The Pay Equity Guide for Nonprofit Organizations Paperback – May 16, 2024
Description :
Hi! I'm Sally Loftis. This book begins with a story about a transformational endowment gift for a North Carolina-based nonprofit. I've woven in only the most essential information about nonprofits and the most important pay terms and concepts (definitions are in the glossary at the back of the book). Then we move into the history behind the current need for pay equity, and how gender and race pay gaps and a lack of inclusive practices for caregivers reduce opportunities for pay increases and growth in organizations.Chapters 3, 4, and 5 share the story of Issa, an Operations Director at a small nonprofit in North Carolina. You'll learn how Issa started her organization’s pay equity journey by getting employee feedback, researching the cost of living for employees, understanding employee needs, reviewing each job for quality, and discussing the needs with the organization leadership team. Finally Issa completes a pay equity assessment and prepares for a series of conversations with the organization leadership team, including the creation of a new pay philosophy. I’ve created a set of reflection questions for each chapter that you can find in the Small Group Guide at the back of the book.
