Horizons Fall/Winter 2019

Leadership says “the Arts and Education Council’s arts incubator, the Centene Center for the Arts, is a place where artists and arts organizations thrive and their impact in the community grows. The 20 organizations who share the space benefit from rehearsal and performance areas, offices, community and collaborative spaces, infrastructure and technology – all for free or at affordable, below-market prices. The Centene Center for the Arts brings access, collaboration and the essential infrastructure the arts need to thrive and grow.” This type of environment can be very attractive for employees, with numerous studies showing an increase in employee happiness, motivation and collaboration.

Not-for-profits should consider this unexplored avenue as a means to increase employee engagement as well as potentially generate cost-savings for the organization.

Talent is one of an organization’s most important resources.

Hopefully, with continued exploration of new ideas, not-for-profit organizations will continue to be successful in recruiting and retaining this talent.
