Case Studies

From the evaluation, research, and consulting services that we provide to the non-profit sector, the Foundation develops ‘case studies’ on a variety of the organizations that have received our software and support. In this section of the website, you will be able to review the information we have compiled on the organizational impact and best practices resulting from our human capital management programs and services.
	HR Pro Bono Corps: Transforming the world one nonprofit at a time This case study examines a successful HR Pro Bono project led by a professional from Zimmer.

CARE is now better positioned to address both the retirement of key leaders and changing operational goals.

This case study examines a successful HR Pro Bono project led by a team of HR professionals from Turner Broadcasting. Turner volunteers assisted a nonprofit dedicated to creating excellent public schools with the redesign of its performance review process, including an analysis of the current process, design of new forms and systems, and support around roll-out and adoption. This organization is now better positioned to drive real, lasting change for the community and its children by developing the staff helping to drive the change.
