Are Jewish organizations great places to work?

Over 80,000 professionals spend their days working in the Jewish nonprofit sector. These professionals are the most valuable asset of organizations, and their experience at work dramatically impacts their success. 

The Focused Engagement Survey helps organizations improve employees’ engagement and performance. Given recent events in Israel and the global Jewish community, many organizations in the Jewish nonprofit sector need more timely and focused feedback from their teams. For this moment, we have created a shorter survey, focused on engagement questions that our data has proved are the most powerful for driving change. 

Leading Edge offers ongoing support by helping organizations administer Pulse Surveys—short, simple surveys designed to get quick feedback on how your employees are experiencing work in the current environment. Pulse Surveys can be administered at any time or cadence, and the questions they ask can be completely customized to meet your needs. Many organizations use Pulse Surveys to measure progress over time and to gauge whether changes are having the desired impact on organizational culture. 

The community for “the people people”

The People Pro Collective (P2C) is a community of practice bringing together executives, HR leaders, and other professionals who focus on talent and organizational culture, connecting them with one another and providing tools that support their work. 

You've taken the Employee Experience Survey. Now what?

Organizational transformation is like a wellness center, not an emergency room. 

After Survey Actions will help your organization find ways to get stronger over time at supporting employees and building optimal organizational health.

"Many emerging leaders are willing to take on challenging roles, but not in organizations with rigid cultures that lack collaboration, innovation, and autonomy... Change must happen at the organizational level, and leaders—both the professional leaders and the lay leaders—must take responsibility for promoting that change."

— The Bridgespan Group, “Cultivating the Next Generation of Leaders for Jewish Nonprofits,” 2014

Because workplace culture matters. We support Jewish nonprofits in creating great workplace cultures that attract, develop, and retain top talent.

The People Pro Collective (P2C) is a community of practice bringing together executives, HR leaders, and other professionals in the Jewish nonprofit sector who focus on talent and organizational culture, connecting them with one another and providing tools that support their work.

Online and in person, the P2C provides spaces for talent-focused professionals to ask and answer questions, share ideas, and support one another. Our monthly P2C calls, open to all P2C members, have shown that deeper conversations with peers across the sector are helpful for many “people people.”

What if you had a team, a squad, a posse—people who know you and do work similar to yours? P2C members can join "Pods"—small peer groups of talent professionals who all have similar jobs at different Jewish nonprofits, or who work for the same size or type of organization. Each Pod gets together (virtually) each month to talk through issues and challenges they're facing—workplace culture, pandemic and post-pandemic policies, employee well-being, DEI, and more.

“My Pod has really been a secret sauce these last few months. We had such meaningful connections and learned a lot.” 

Bringing it all together in your inbox. Stay up to date with news, resources, and opportunities for People Pro Collective members.

A Slack channel for all P2C members to connect, crowdsource solutions, and build community.

Build practical skills and learn from world-class experts together with peers from other Jewish organizations in webinars and gatherings offered exclusively to the P2C.
