As the development and alumni relations sector goes through a period of significant churn and staff movement, how can teams maintain momentum and protect existing team members whilst carrying hard-to-fill vacancies? Options include: adapting existing roles, adjusting priorities and deliverables and bringing in short-term resources. Alongside these are considerations about opportunities for staff development, supporting individual and team well-being, management of alumni and donor relationships and maintaining internal reputation and relationships.
