Board/Committee Training & Mentoring: Board meetings are the essence of nonprofit board work. Many board members complain that their meetings are disorganized, ineffective or overwhelming. Executive Ministry Solutions will train and mentor your board members so the time spent in these meetings is significant to both the board and the organization. In addition, committees are often called upon to achieve specific outcomes but they are seldom given the proper support and authority to meet their objectives. You can leverage the experience of EMS to improve working boards, policy boards, institutionalized boards and specialized committees. E-mail us at info@executiveministry.com to ensure your organization gets effective oversight and maintains ethical operations.

Budgeting involves understanding how much money you have coming in and how much money is going out over a period of time.

Job Descriptions: The primary purpose of a job description is to identify the essential functions of the position. All organizations owe it to their workers (paid or volunteer) to have accurate job descriptions. Executive Ministry Solutions will provide you with custom job descriptions that meet your organizational needs. Job descriptions are key in the hiring process and the long term working relationship to accurately describe what employees or volunteers will do to support the organization’s outcomes. Your employees will understand what authority they have to act on their own and when they must seek approval from a supervisor. An accurate job description is also helpful in evaluating whether you need full-time or part-time help. It can form the basis of advertisements that you run for an employee search, and can be used to present a clear picture of the job to applicants and current workers. Finally, a job description plays a part in evaluating whether an employee or volunteer has met the expectations you set.

Nonprofits, churches and ministry organizations frequently overlook the importance of job descriptions. Contact EMS at info@executiveministry.com for more information about job descriptions in your organization.

Personnel Coaching, Discipline and Release Strategies: A performance discussion with your employees should occur on a frequent basis. Periodic discussions allow for goals, attitudes and behaviors to be adjusted as necessary. Nonprofit organizations and churches often overlook this critical process in achieving the organization’s mission and honestly showing care and respect for employees with their natural desire to succeed. Executive Ministry Solutions will partner with you to ensure meaningful coaching occurs between your leadership and their staff. Even though it occurs infrequently, there are times when an employee is unable or unwilling to perform to the expected standards. Our partnership allows you to leverage the experience of EMS to give you confidence to respectfully coach, discipline or release the underperformer. The employee performance feedback process should be a comfortable experience for both parties.

There is no reason to go into this alone when your organization and a person’s career could be at stake. Contact us at info@executiveministry.com to discover how a partnership with EMS can help you improve performance of the organization and your staff.

Personnel Performance Plans: A personnel performance plan outlines goals for the employee against which progress can be measured. Executive Ministry Solutions will align goals with management expectations and base them on the organization’s mission while demonstrating care for the employee. The plan also identifies training that can improve the employee’s performance. The personnel performance plan provides a framework for supervisors and employees to communicate with each other regarding work expectations, job performance and career development.

Strategic Planning: The result of any organization is perfectly aligned with its leadership. The question is; does your organization’s leadership have a clear vision and plan for achieving its goals? The focus of a strategic plan is usually on the entire organization to ensure outcomes are consistent with the leader’s vision. Strategic planning determines where an organization is going over the next year or more, how it's going to get there and how it will know if it got there or not.

There are a variety of perspectives, models and approaches used in strategic planning. Executive Ministry Solutions customizes strategic planning based on the nature of your organization's leadership, culture of your organization, complexity of your organization's environment, size of your organization and expertise of your planners and leaders. Most business consultants can help your organization develop a goals-based strategic plan focusing on your organization's mission and vision, goals to work toward the mission, strategies to achieve the goals and action planning. While this may be the best approach in the secular business community, EMS also uses issue-based strategic planning by examining specific issues facing your organization and values-based strategic planning so you can achieve your vision while adhering to your basic values. Your customized strategic plan can be scoped to one year or more depending on your needs and may include only top-level information with no action plans or it may be several pages long to include more detail.
