The pandemic has affected many industries’ workforces in Illinois, including nonprofit agencies.
Some are have a difficult time retaining or recruiting employees.
Charles Cribaro, director of human resources at Pioneer Center for Human Services in McHenry County, said the nonprofit is experiencing staffing shortages and they are not alone.
“Agencies are experiencing through my conversations with some of my counterparts throughout the county, horrible, horrible numbers on their recruitment and applicants applying,” Cribaro said. “I talked with one individual at a facility near us who said they have a recruitment team of three and they are literally twiddling their thumbs because there is no activity.”
