HR and staff employment support for churches
The harvest is plentiful but the workers are: few…. need managing… demotivated…. undervalued… poorly managed…. challenging… unsupported… unfocussed…. underperforming… lacking boundaries… at risk of burnout… misunderstood…
What does it mean to manage people well in a church organisation? What do you want to be the experience of working for your church? How can leaders, trustees and managers steward the precious resource that is the church worker, ensuring they are cared for, treated well, and well-utilised?
Churchworkers.net is a service provided by UCAN and supported by Stewardship, Anthony Collins Solicitors & Keelys Solicitors. Our aim is to help the church function as a people honouring, developmental, caring and effective employer.
