National survey on late career/post-retirement paid employment in the non-profit sector

The Human Resources Council for the Voluntary & Non-profit Sector is conducting a confidential survey which may be of interest to individuals aged 45+ planning to retire or make other work changes, or who are already retired.

Ottawa (7 Oct. 2009) - The Human Resources Council for the Voluntary & Non-profit Sector is conducting a confidential survey which may be of interest to individuals aged 45+ who are planning to retire or make other work changes, or who are already retired.

The survey reflects the non-profit sector’s interest in the skills/experience which union members can bring from other sectors to late-career or post-retirement paid work in the non-profit sector.

The HR Council for the Voluntary & Non-profit Sector (HR Council) is a forum for dialogue and action on workplace and labour force issues in the non-profit sector. The Council works with educators, labour and government to identify and address HR issues and is funded by the Government of Canada's Sector Council Program. For more information on the HR Council, see: http://www.hrcouncil.ca/home.cfm

The HR Council will use the study results to develop information materials to better inform employers and individuals about paid employment opportunities in the Canadian non-profit sector. Completing the survey will be informative to individuals and also aid the Canadian non-profit sector and its 69,000 charitable and community organizations.
