2026 Nonprofit Credential in Human Resources

Description

You want to do everything you can to make sure your organization and employees are protected. Are you confident that your Human Resources policies and practices are legal, equitable, and fully able to protect your mission? While mission and community are the primary focus of nonprofits, people management and compliance with federal and state law are critical and no less demanding for today's successful nonprofit.

The Nonprofit Credential in Human Resources (HR) gives you the tools—and expert advice in how to use them—to implement best practices in HR at your nonprofit. The course will demonstrate how to adapt your HR policies to comply with changing laws and will provide a framework for staying current in the evolving HR landscape.

What You’ll Gain:

• Gain a comprehensive understanding of key employment and discrimination laws relevant to an organization’s size —and how to implement them effectively
• Practical guidance for creating or refining personnel policies and handbooks that keep you compliant and confident
• Gain critical insight into employee recruitment best practices, learn new methods to retain and motivate employees
• Leave with a toolkit for performance appraisals that drive performance

Ready to empower your team and create an organization where people thrive? Let’s make it happen.

Upon completion, your organization will earn the UNA Human Resources Badge, a mark of excellence to share with your network and show the world you’re serious about making an impact.
