PILLAR 2
Design for People

This pillar focuses on strengthening our team's capacity to advance the mission by enhancing recruitment, retention, appointment practices, and leadership development, while building strategic continuity, retaining critical knowledge, and sustaining mission impact.

 Key work will include:

 People Strategy for Officers, Employees and Corps Lay Leaders

  • Engage people in leadership development, including coaching and mentoring to strengthen their leadership capabilities.
  • Recruitment and onboarding:
    • Redefine recruitment, retention and the appointment system of officers.
    • Develop employee recruitment practices that include spiritual competencies, cultural sensitivity and a structured mission-oriented onboarding program for new hires as well as a retention strategy.
    • Develop and implement a framework to identify, equip and empower volunteer lay leaders in worship, pastoral care, discipleship, community engagement and administration to partner, bring continuity and advance the mission in partnership.
    • Develop a framework for identifying and equipping people to fill ministry leadership roles. 

Strategic Continuity for Mission

  • Develop an approach to manage transitions effectively through organized knowledge sharing, engagement and clear communication for strategic continuity.
  • Develop future leaders through talent identification and development (succession management) for key roles.
