Arts and culture organizations have been particularly impacted by recent economic turmoil. Given that, what can you do to provide your staff with the support and motivation they need to give their best so your organization can be its best? What makes your organization a place where people want to work? This small group discussion gave participants the opportunity to explore their questions about creatively attracting, motivating and retaining staff with a leading expert in human resource management, Dr. Diane Burton.
Professor Burton is an expert in organizational theory, human resource management and entrepreneurship at Cornell University. During this hour long Q&A session, Professor Burton explored questions about how to better motivate staff and increase an organization's attractiveness as a place to work. Participants were provided with an online recording in which Professor Burton discussed management challenges specific to arts organizations, the creation “good jobs” that meet the needs and interests of staff, and why people are drawn to organization and what motivates them to continue to work there.
