Add
Jessie Genther, longtime events manager for The GLBT Community Center of
Colorado, to the growing list of the organization's departing employees. Genther, who joined the staff of The Center in 2008,
tendered her resignation last week but is expected to stay on through
December.
Genther
will be the seventh person this year to leave The Center's employ. With a staff
of 19 employees, this represents a
turnover rate of over 36% – well over the national average of 17% reported by
the 2013 Nonprofit Employment Trends Survey.
According to Gallup polls, "at least 75% of the reasons for voluntary turnover can
be influenced by managers. As the axiom goes, "People don't leave organizations, they leave managers."
Rex
Fuller, The Center's Marketing and PR Manager, has stated that The Center's
Board of Directors is currently "discussing new options for our management
structure."
