Attracting talent can be difficult, but there are some ways a company, or in this case, a non-profit, can draw in and keep engaged workers. One option is mentoring, where an employee is paired with a knowledgeable co-worker to gain hands on learning experiances. Another concept is, not just upward movement within the company, but lateral movement as well. By exposing employees to other areas of professional development they can gain a wider skills set. Two other incentives are continuing education and market-driven compensation.
