Large Nonprofits: Staff Want To Better Trust Managers, But Love The Work, Mission
April 5, 2021
Old movie buffs might remember the 1967 film Up The Down Staircase with Sandy Dennis playing a school teacher on her first assignment. Staff at the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) in Jacksonville, Fla., don’t need the reminder. One-way staircases are part of the COVID-19 protocol.
Getting staff back in the office or making sure remote operations go off without a hitch is central to what’s going on in the organizations that make up the Best Nonprofits large category of 250 or more employees.
Like everything else, COVID-19 has had a transformative impact on WWP (No. 34 overall and No. 6 in the large category) and the other organizations in the category. The challenge is that organizations such as WWP and Baptist Children’s Homes of North Carolina are direct service providers and need to be face-to-face.
