- Compensation for Non Profit Executives
Each time a new employee is hired in a non profit organization, a compensation package is developed that includes information regarding the base salary, insurance, retirement plans, supplemental benefits, education reimbursement, perks, and employment policies. While the development of a comprehensive non profit compensation package and policy manual is standard for management and executive positions, it is often overlooked for lower level positions. In these circumstances, developing an inclusive employee policies and procedures manual is an effective and practical way to cover these topics.

- Code of Good Practice in the management and support of aid personnel
The People in Aid Code was launched in 1997 for development aid and disaster relief organisations to enhance their human resource management. It was revised in 2003. The Code for aid personnel contains seven principles based on a guiding principle: "People are central to the achievement of our mission". The principles are: one, human resources strategy; two, staff policies and practices; three, managing people; four, consultation and communication; five, recruitment and selection; six, learning, training and development; and seven, health, safety and security. Each principle is described as an objective, contains a list of key indictators, comments and some examples from the 50+ member organisations. The Code is a must for everyone involved in human resources, ie. for every manager. Available also in French and Spanish.

- NGO Leadership Development, A Review of the Literature
“NGO leaders often face extraordinary challenges – both at a personal and organisational level. These challenges are demanding, and distinct from those faced by governments or the for-profit sector.
NGO leaders are often isolated and unsupported. There is talk of a leadership deficit, because of the shortage of talented leaders and the growth of the non-profit sector generally. As a result there is some urgency in attempts to develop a new generation of leaders, and to provide relevant support to existing and future leaders. Leadership development programmes designed for NGO leaders must as a consequence incorporate best practice and current experience rather than rehashing tired, traditional approaches to leadership training.
This Praxis Paper examines the role of leaders and leadership in NGOs. It draws on the analysis of recent research into the characteristics of NGO leaders, and explores the challenges of designing leadership development programmes appropriate to the needs of NGOs. This paper identifies the elements of successful leadership development, and assesses the skills or competencies that need be developed.” John Hailey, the author, was one of the founders of INTRAC. His research has focused on developing new approaches to capacity building and managing change; leadership and management of NGOs and non-profits, and the strategic issues facing development agencies generally. Formerly a Professor of Oxford Brookes University, John Hailey is now a visiting professor at City University of London and consultant.

- Stress Management Techniques
Fight or flight? Mindtool's stress management module "shows you how to survive and thrive under the intense stress that comes with a challenging career. The first articles help you to understand stress and what causes it: This is an important starting point for effective stress management. They introduce you to the three main approaches to stress management, and then shows you how you can identify the key sources of stress in your life. We then look at range of stress management techniques. Unlike other approaches to stress management, the Mind Tools approach is, where possible, to tackle stress at source. This means that not only do we show you how to deal with the symptoms of stress, we show you how to deal with the underlying causes as well. By the end of the section, you should have a much clearer understanding of stress and the importance of managing it. You should be able to analyze the points of pressure in your life, and plan to neutralize them. You will also have access to a wide range of different stress management techniques." Don't forget the burnout self-test section -"Testing yourself to avoid burnout".
