People

Effectively managing people and staff is essential for associations to be able to achieve their objectives and goals.

STAFF MANAGEMENT CHALLENGE
  • Associations encounter the challenge of effectively managing staff responsible for achieving strategic objectives and upholding the constitution.
  • Many associations, particularly small ones, lack the financial resources to employ staff. However, as associations expand, they increasingly rely on paid staff to deliver quality services to members.
IMPORTANCE OF HIRING RIGHT
  • Recruiting suitable staff is paramount. On average, associations have fewer than 20 staff members, with most Australian associations employing around four staff members. Typically, a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is hired to support the Board and execute the strategic plan.
EFFICIENT ADMINISTRATION IS VITAL
  • Efficient administration is indispensable for an association's prosperity. Enhancing administrative processes can lead to overall improvement in association activities and outcomes.
AES ADMINISTRATION SERVICES
  • AES offers comprehensive back-office administration and secretariat services. With a team comprising some of the most experienced professionals in managing associations and NFPs in Australia, we provide the expertise needed to facilitate the growth and success of your organisation.
