The charity sector faces growing workforce challenges — from recruitment pressures to skills gaps and leadership pipeline concerns.
But how prepared are organisations for the next five to ten years?
In partnership with CHRN, this report reveals the current state of workforce strategy across UK charities — and highlights the risks, opportunities, and priorities leaders must address.
This report explores:
- How many organisations have a formal workforce strategy (and how many don’t)
- Where recruitment pressures are most acute
- The sector’s approach to skills development and digital capability
- Leadership pipeline and succession planning gaps
- Pay benchmarking and reward competitiveness
- DE&I strategy progress and where more action is needed
The data is clear: workforce planning can’t be reactive.
