Hilborn Charity eNews together with partner CCEOC Inc. congratulate the recipients of the fifth annual Canadian Nonprofit Employer of Choice (NEOC) Award TM.

• 4-H Alberta

• CMHA - York Region (ON)

All winners successfully completed the NEOC Organizational Profile and Employee Commitment Survey achieving a minimum overall score of 75% to qualify for the award.
In a quest to create "decent workplaces" thought leaders are debunking the myth that employees in the nonprofit sector are willing (and should be expected) to work in exchange for the opportunity to “do good.”
Today, talented people can find a socially meaningful career outside a traditional nonprofit organization, which intensifies the competition for qualified staff. Nonprofit employers of choice generally do a better job of attracting and retaining talent due to superior HR management; strong organizational cultures; clarity around job expectations; and relevant training and career development.
The Nonprofit Employer of Choice™ (NEOC) Award is a tool that measures a nonprofit's Leadership attributes, HR practices and employee opinions. The NEOC program provides a framework to evaluate an organization's talent management issues and start building a corrective plan of action. This program further enables the board and senior staff to probe and analyze the issues and start the transformational change needed to achieve the impact that donors rightly expect.
“We’re very pleased with the variety of organizations that participated this year.” said Jeff Doran, president of CCEOC Inc. “All of the winning nonprofits showed strong leadership qualities, particularly in the areas of employee engagement and personal enjoyment. These organizations can now promote the Employer of Choice brand and put together workable action plans to help make their organizations even better places to work.”
Other supporting partners of the NEOC Award program include Canadahelps.org and the Sustainability Network.
