The nonprofit and mission-focused sector faces unique challenges when it comes to retaining and engaging employees. High turnover rates drain resources and stall progress on critical initiatives. Disengaged teams lead to burnout, reduced productivity, and a growing gap between organizational goals and everyday realities.

 

The root of the issue? Outdated systems and structures that fail to meet employees' core needs and align them with the mission. Many organizations struggle to create workplaces where people feel valued, empowered, and inspired to contribute their best. The result is a constant cycle of hiring, onboarding, and losing employees before they’ve even had a chance to make an impact.
 

These challenges aren’t just operational—they’re mission-critical. Without a stable, engaged, and motivated team, achieving your purpose becomes exponentially harder.
 

It doesn’t have to be this way. Organizations that prioritize their people and modernize their approaches to work can break the cycle, turning turnover into retention and disengagement into meaningful connection.

I’ve spent my entire career in the mission-focused world, working to create environments where people can thrive—whether as an entry-level teacher, front-line manager, or senior administrator. Over the last 15 years, I’ve dedicated myself to building and refining the MissionWorks philosophy, not in theory, but in real organizations facing real challenges.

​

In every role I’ve held, my goal has been the same: to create workplaces where employees at all levels feel valued, trusted, and empowered with real decision-making power. Why? Because when employees are supported in this way, organizations don’t just survive—they excel. They deliver higher-quality services, retain top talent, and stay true to their missions.

​

Through my work with MissionWorks, I’ve helped organizations reduce turnover, boost employee engagement, and increase internal promotions. I believe that by aligning operational systems with human needs, mission-driven organizations can reach their full potential—and I’m here to help make that happen.
