WTOP: 5 ways nonprofits can…
Nonprofit HR Staff Story
Nina Dixon
Joined Nonprofit HR June 2022
What attracted you to Nonprofit HR? I found my way to Nonprofit HR a bit untraditionally, through a merger. When given the option to join Nonprofit HR, I had heard many great things about the leadership and the firm. Ultimately, I was attracted to the diverse leadership, mission-driven clients, and the ability to expand my range of responsibilities in this space. What is your favorite aspect of talent management? My favorite part of talent management is helping my clients understand compensation programs. In the HR industry, I began working as a compensation analyst and quickly realized I felt very comfortable with the type of work I was tasked with. Having a background in data analytics, compensation is a functional area within HR that relies heavily on various types of salary data. Using data analytics and metrics to make recommendations for our clients that uncover key insights to improve their compensation programs has been rewarding. |  |
What is the coolest thing you’re working on right now and why?
I’ve been working on some internal trainings for the team with our compensation applications around analytics, metrics and visualizations. Using some of the new functionalities will help us provide more strategic value as we advise our clients.

What is a fun fact that people might not know about you?
I was a competitive junior Olympic gymnast and coach, so much fun!
What is your favorite quote? Why?
“Collect moments, not things.”
I love this quote because it truly embodies what is important to me and how I live my life. I’m passionate about traveling, exploring, learning and having new experiences. Although I may not have something physical to take with me from those activities or people in my life, I’ll always have and cherish the memories of those experiences and those of my family, friends, colleagues, clients and associates.
Is there anything else you’d like to share?
My partner and I are currently living as quasi-nomads. We have been exploring the states, traveling to new cities every 3-4 months. My photos show some of the places we have lived so far. Feel free to check out my blog at www.livingasaquasi-nomad.com!
