Likewise, most nonprofits offer services, analyses, and consultation-the kinds of knowledge-based activities that requires able, dedicated individuals. If human resources are central to the work and the success of an organization, then the tasks of attracting, compensating, evaluating, disciplining, motivating, and developing quality employees are obviously critical.
