Human Resources

The CSO Academy has hosted a series of workshops dedicated to Human Resources. The aim is to bring together HR Directors of global and large national civil society organisations (CSOs) to develop concrete concepts which these organisations can – jointly and within their own organisations – implement to identify promising staff and to nurture and deploy them to their full potential.
