Nonprofit organization
Board members bring knowledge, skills, perspectives, and connections to their board. The assets that are most valued will vary from board to board and change over time as the needs and priorities of the organization changes. A grid showing the current and desired assets of board members can be a useful tool for evaluating the composition of a board and considering the types of individual that would be recruited to fill open board positions.
In this Discussion, you will analyze the current composition of the board of directors for the nonprofit organization you have chosen for your Final Project, or one that you are familiar with, using the Board Matrix Worksheets found on pages 90–91 of the “Nonprofit Board Answer Book: A Practical Guide for Board Members and Chief Executives (3rd Edition)” or using the Board Composition Analysis Template found in this week’s Learning Resources.

Comprehensive employee
Alley and Robert are working hard at getting the best possible candidates to work for CapraTek and then ensuring the new employees thrive in a healthy workplace. Alley has tenure in the world of learning and development and can be best described as upbeat and super trendy. Robert is a former high school instructor and has been with the learning division of CapraTek for less than a year. Robert is hard working but not all that flexible and has a quick and simple solution for every dilemma. Alley is much more mindful of the complexity of the employees’ choices and desires. Their small team has been assigned the task of creating a comprehensive employee experience that includes the entire employee life cycle from attraction to departure from the company. Occasionally Robert becomes frustrated with Alley’s cutting-edge ideas for the many different areas of responsibility their team has. Alley and Robert like and respect each other a great deal, but they do not always find it easy to arrive at solutions that they are both happy with.
Today’s employees have the expectation that their job will be more than a place of work where they will spend a minimum of 40 hours a week. This week you will look at the employee experience and what it includes. HR professionals pay attention to all facets of the employee experience from what it feels like to be recruited and a candidate for a position at your organization,
