Management Services

FirstDay Foundation Management Service Providers (MSPs) are responsible for helping affiliate organizations solve issues, create value, maximize growth, improve performance, and achieve mission-critical goals and objectives. The scope of engagement is highly variable and is geared toward problem-solving at a higher level. From identifying approaches, to cost-effectively managing companies’ infrastructure for the long term, the Management Services team provides tools to improve decision-making and communication, and solutions to optimize funding for projects and new lines of services. Management Services is an additional support service to internal management functions, and for various legal and practical reasons, should not be seen as a replacement for internal management. Management Service Providers are not and do not become part of the organization that they're providing services to. Management Services brings institutional knowledge and “best practices” to ensure consistency, and collective mission alignment.

Employee Relations & Culture Services

The Employee Relations and Culture Services department is responsible for fostering a positive and respectful work environment by supporting healthy relationships between employees and the organization. This team typically manages conflict resolution, addresses workplace concerns or complaints (such as discrimination, harassment, or misconduct), and ensures fair and consistent application of policies and procedures. Their goal is to enhance employee satisfaction, trust, and belonging, which ultimately contributes to a stronger organizational culture and improved retention.

Protective Services
