Human Resource Management in Nonprofit Organisations 2008/2009

This survey comprises Stage 2 in a benchmarking project that aims to capture vital information about a variety of issues impacting nonprofit organisations and their managers in Australia. Consequently, the same set of questions that were answered a year ago, have been re-addressed in this latest study that aggregates anonymous responses from 63 participants.

Primarily, our respondents were fulltime CEO’s operating in the health and community care areas. Mostly male, aged between 40 and 59, approximately half of the respondents are tertiary qualified, with over 50% having worked in the nonprofit sector for more than 10 years.

Measured against the 2007/08 survey, the most recent results revealed some interesting trends.
