“We understand from our members that recruitment and retention is a current challenge within the UK Jewish charity sector and we know this is a picture that is also echoed in the wider UK charity sector. This partnership is the first sector-wide effort to improve employee experience in UK Jewish communal history, and it couldn’t come at a better time. Getting the right people and doing more to support and develop the people we have is a major opportunity for Jewish charities here. We’re hopeful that the JLC and Leading Edge can make a real impact.”

— Michelle Janes, Co-Chief Executive, the Jewish Leadership Council

“One thing we’ve learned so far from working with North American Jewish organizations is that you really can make progress on improving talent and workplace culture. And this pilot points toward possibilities for more global Jewish communities to engage further in this work.

“Leading Edge is still fully focused on North America at this time, but this partnership is an opportunity to make a positive difference beyond our area of focus.”
