Your organization has highly valuable people whose knowledge, relationships, leadership, and responsibilities are especially important. But this can become a problem when the organization is so dependent on one person that their absence creates significant disruption.
Whether you’re preparing for an unexpected absence, succession, or a staff sabbatical, identifying those vulnerabilities now can strengthen your organization’s resilience.
Use this key role assessment to evaluate your organization's readiness for an extended absence.
Could a sabbatical program work at your nonprofit? We can help you think through eligibility, compensation, coverage, policy design, and implementation to create an approach that works for both your employees and your organization.
