Every year Infoxchange hosts the Connecting Up conference in Melbourne. This year's conference is a three-day event that aims to help Australian not-for-profits get the most out of technology, training, and strategy. Subscribe-HR is the technology sponsor for Connecting Up this year. That's because we're aligned with Infoxchange on our commitment to providing the sectors they serve with the tools and business intelligence they need to thrive. An increasing proportion of our customers operate in the NFP, charity, social enterprise, Indigenous or Local Council segments because we've been ardent supporters of these businesses since we started our own. Read this week's HR Blog to find out more about this year's conference, and if you're attending, please do come along and say hello.

Every year (well, every year except last year) ConnectingUp hosts an annual conference in Melbourne focused on providing NFPs, charities and social enterprise with the tools and business intelligence they need to thrive. This year's conference is a three-day interactive event that aims to help Australian not-for-profits get the most out of technology, training, and strategy. We've long been supporters of such businesses and an increasing proportion of our customers operate in the NFP, charity, social enterprise, Indigenous or Local Council segments. We recognise the importance of supporting these businesses and we're proud to be a sponsor of this year's event. If you're attending, please do come along and say hello.

Deloitte recently published a fantastic article about the increasing importance of applying your company’s values in relation to people, processes and technology. The take-away: "In a time of perpetual technological disruption, earning (and keeping) the trust of all your stakeholders is a 360 degree challenge as well as being a massive opportunity." Ensuring that you apply and use technology in an ethical manner, especially if you're an NFP, NGO or charity, is a trend that is predicted to increase in relevance (and necessity). As we discussed in our last Blog about Edelman's 2020 Trust Barometer report, trust is hard to gain and easy to lose, so let's take a look at what this evolving trend around technology means for HR best practice in your business.

Edelman has been publishing their annual Trust Barometer Report for 20 years now, and the 2020 report illustrates what you might call an 'epic fail' in trust across the board. No institutions are seen as being both competent AND ethical. Only business is seen as being competent and only NGOs are seen as ethical. Add to that the fact that 56% percent of respondents believe that capitalism as it currently operates today is doing more harm than good and you can see that there is both a significant need for change as well as a tremendous opportunity for transformation. It shouldn't surprise anyone to hear that trust and transparency are more critical to success than ever, especially given current circumstances. So let's take a look at the highlights from the 2020 Trust Barometer Report and how they matter to you.

Every year, EthicalJobs hosts the Not For Profit People Conference in its home town of Melbourne; the biggest event of its kind in Australia. The conference provides an opportunity for NFPs, social enterprise and local councils to explore best practice in attracting, managing, training and retaining great employees. Now, more than ever, the mission of creating a more equitable, just and sustainable future is a critical success factor, not just for businesses, but for all of us. We've witnessed an increase in these types of businesses here at Subscribe-HR. In fact, an increasing proportion of our customers operate in the NFP, social enterprise or local council segments, and we recognise the importance of supporting these businesses. That's why we've signed on to support the Not For Profit People Conference again this year.

Every year, EthicalJobs hosts the Not For Profit People Conference in its home town of Melbourne; the biggest event of its kind in Australia. The conference provides an opportunity for NFPs, social enterprise and local councils to explore best practice in attracting, managing, training and retaining people in these sectors. The EthicalJobs platform was created almost ten years ago to promote businesses and jobs that contribute to a more equitable, more just or more sustainable world. With the rise of public awareness about the ethics (or lack thereof) in certain market segments, a shift to more purpose and values driven economic choices is underway. Every year, more businesses are transitioning to (or being started with) the mission of creating a more equitable, just and sustainable future. We've witnessed an increase in these types of businesses here at Subscribe-HR. In fact, an increasing proportion of our customers operate in the NFP, social enterprise or local council segments, and we recognise the importance of supporting these businesses. That's why we've signed on to support the Not For Profit People Conference this year.
