09 Jul How can our ministry retain valuable staff during economic uncertainty?
To retain staff is a priority for any organization, but the most valuable employees are looking for more than just a paycheck. They are seeking a healthy culture and a sense of purpose and belonging. Here are some tips for how to keep those people on board:
Highlight Kingdom Impact
Emphasize how each role directly contributes to the ministry’s mission and the Kingdom (i.e., show how administrative efficiency directly supports the outreach programs).
Transparent Communication
Be open about the ministry’s financial health and strategic direction. Consistent communication builds trust and reduces anxiety.
Offer Flexible Support
Understand the unique needs of staff. Consider flexible work arrangements or additional support resources customized to your people.
Invest in Growth & Development
Provide opportunities for both professional and spiritual growth. Investing in your team shows you value their long-term contribution.
Recognize & Appreciate
Regularly acknowledge and appreciate your staff’s contributions. Small gestures can go a long way in boosting morale!
Competitive Compensation & Benefits
Review your compensation and benefits packages to ensure they are competitive within the ministry sector. While team members may be there for more than a paycheck, the paycheck still matters.
Cultivate a Positive Culture
Foster a supportive and encouraging work environment where staff feel valued and respected.
