Our journalism on wellbeing in the social purpose world
Social impact professionals are on the verge of burnout — these organizations radically changed their work culture to help
Why it matters: Canadian Mental Health Week provides an opportunity to practice values and restructure organizational goals, which can ultimately lead to increased performance and better outcomes. While some of these measures are unconventional in the non-profit sector, the stakes are high, as deteriorating mental health may lead to employee burnout.
Non-profits are prone to toxic work environments, experts say
Why it matters: The non-profit sector, while employing 2 million Canadians, remains mostly off the radar when it comes to public cases of labour and human rights violations. But those in the sector say toxic work environments are leading to employee burnout.
One year into the pandemic, the social sector's working moms are not alright
Why it matters: Women make up the majority of social impact workers — 80 percent of non-profit workers alone. The sector stands to lose, or stunt the career trajectories, of the majority of its workforce if it doesn’t advocate for more accessible childcare and change its work culture to be more flexible.
