Beyond High School - November Edition

Welcome to interactive presentation, created with Publuu. Enjoy the reading!

The Centre for Social Impact and Philanthropy developed the social sector talent

management and compensation database as a repository of knowledge on various

aspects of working in the sector. The portal hosts static and dynamic dashboards that

illustrate compensation data across roles (in terms of hierarchical level, function and

scope) and types of organizations (in terms of region, funding size, thematic area and

headcount size). The portal also has reports that describe perceptions of employees about

various aspects of their work. One of the reports also details the various push and pull

factors that motivate people to join and stay in certain types of organizations. One can also

learn about various reasons for voluntary attrition in one of the reports. Together, these

shall empower social sector aspirants to have a more robust understanding of the sector in

terms of sector working conditions and conditions of work to make desirable career

choices. This means that before seriously considering the social sector as a career choice,

the data portal offers a one-stop destination to be informed about what to expect in terms

of compensation and other motivation/ demotivation factors while working in a certain

kind of role/ function in a specific category of organization.

As more and more young people seek purpose-driven work,

the social sector seems to offer a perfect opportunity to serve

the society and make a living. At the same time, for those

already in the sector, work in the sector is also synonymous

with challenging and arduous work with little rewards and

benefits. Considering the low compensation as compared to

the for-profit sector, what are the different factors that

high schoolers should know before taking a call on

joining the sector? Where is it that they can seek the

information they need to enter the sector reasonably

informed so that they do not become disenchanted as soon

as they get motivated?
