Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is already helping many third-sector organisations tackle this head-on – particularly when it comes to shouldering time-consuming, repetitive administrative tasks that drain resources and tie-up skills that could better directed elsewhere, and in helping charities communicate with their supporters.

The team you hire will make or break the future of your organisation. 

With a more competitive market than ever, a cost of living crisis, a challenging fundraising environment, and increasing pressures to improve diversity, is the current process for hiring in charities broken? 

Over half of all charities don’t have a single woman of colour on their board, and almost a third have boards that are entirely white. There are pressures to improve diversity not just at board level, with most organisations struggling to truly represent the community that they serve from junior through to exec.

Diversity concerns aside, the nonprofit sector is facing the highest rate of staff turnover in the labour market, with 18.1% of labour turnover in it’s workforce in 2022 alone. Ensuring that you hire a highly-skilled and diverse workforce that delivers on the promise of your charity is one of the biggest challenges charities are facing in 2023. 

As part of the roundtable session, Bradley Franks (Head of Sales at Applied), who’s worked with over 80 non-profits in the UK (Unicef UK, The Brilliant Club, and Comic Relief) will be hosting a discussion that dives into the following broad topics: 

• Why should charities care about improving diversity? Is there a tangible knock-on effect on your organisation's ability to deliver your mission or achieve fundraising goals? 

• When hiring does not go as planned, what are the implications of this? 

• How are you currently addressing these hiring challenges? 

• What are the pros and cons of taking an anonymous approach to recruitment?

Legacy IT infrastructure is holding back the evolution of charity organizations, with many still managing finance and operations through spreadsheets and siloed finance solutions.

How can you reap the benefits of new technology - the right way? What role can leaders like you play in being the catalyst for change? Digital and transformation has been a hot topic for many years, and we’re keen to get into a meaningful, inspiring and practical discussion with organisational leaders like yourselves. You’ll leave the round table with examples from around the sector and beyond, actionable insights to feedback to your leaders and broader organisation and a connection to other leaders who have embarked or looking to embark on change.

We will discuss how digital and technology can accelerate your impact and the outcomes you need to achieve. How can you incorporate digital and technology into your ways of working, delivery, culture and values? How can we move from focusing on technology and digital channels to an outcome driven strategy with digital, data and technology as key drivers and enablers? AI and personalisation are hot topics right now, but technology is not where you start. We’ve worked with a vast number of not for profit organisations, from UNICEF UK, Breast Cancer Now, and Woodgreen - we’re keen to share the experiences, challenges, opportunities and great sector examples to spark this much needed conversation.

TPXimpact will host this roundtable, a digital agency specialising in transformation for good, partnering with charities and other organisations to deliver impactful, sustainable digital change.
