For non-profits with 180+ people

Feeling frustrated about losing good people who joined your non-profit for the mission?

Your values, policies and leadership practices set the culture you intend. But values only count when they turn into everyday behaviour. The bigger you grow, the harder it is to know whether that's happening in every team, service and location. Kintris gives you the evidence, before good people decide to leave.

People can believe deeply in the mission and still struggle in the organisation.

Commitment to the cause doesn't tell you whether people feel safe to speak up, whether managers create a consistently good experience or whether the work is sustainable. When those things slip, the cost lands in three places.

Experienced people leave

Your strongest people get handed more and more of the work. The people who know your services best and who you can least afford to lose, walk out with years of knowledge.

Services feel it first

Vacancies, agency cover and new starters stretch the teams left behind, and the people you support notice.

Funders ask for evidence

Your board and funders want a clear story about your organisation. Without data, that story is harder to prove.

A resignation is the last signal,
not the first.

An organisation-wide average hides what's happening in each service

Dispersed organisations don't have one culture. They have sub-cultures. One service can be thriving while another, in a different city, is under real pressure. You have the right policies, but having the right policy isn't the same as people experiencing the right practice.

Culture becomes real through your middle managers, in everyday interactions you can't see from the top. They're critical to what people experience and they're often the ones most overlooked.

2.3x

Employees with low manager support are 2.3 times more likely to be considering leaving within the next 12 months.

Non-profit organisations depend on people who care deeply about the work they do. But purpose alone isn't enough to sustain a workforce. Join non-profit leaders for a candid conversation about the realities of building and sustaining strong organisations: the pressures their people are facing, the challenges leaders are navigating and what they are doing to create workplaces where people can continue to do their best work.

  • The workforce challenges facing non-profit leaders today
  • Where purpose and the day-to-day employee experience can come under pressure
  • What leaders are doing to strengthen culture, support their people and build more sustainable organisations

Questions non-profit leaders ask us

Who is Kintris for?

Non-profits with 180 or more people, usually spread across services or locations. It's built for CEOs and leadership teams who want evidence rather than assumptions.

Who owns culture in our organisation?

Everyone contributes to it, but leadership is accountable for shaping it. Kintris gives your leadership team the evidence to do that, service by service.

Is this another staff survey?

No. It shows you where people's lived experience differs from the culture you intend, what's driving that and where to act.

Will frontline staff take part?

Yes. Kintris averages 80%+ participation. Check-ins are short and mobile-first, and combine questions with bite-sized learning so people get something back.

Does Kintris assess our safeguarding or trauma-informed care?

No. It shows whether the people, culture and management conditions intended to support that practice are being experienced by your workforce.

What happens on the call?

Thirty minutes with the Kintris team on where experience may be differing across your organisation, and what other non-profits are doing about it.

Is our data secure?

Kintris is ISO 27001 certified with UKAS accreditation and GDPR compliant. Results are only shown above confidentiality thresholds and individual responses are never shown to managers.

There's no culture without leadership.

The culture you intend. The culture people experience. How different are they?
