Well Being in the Nonprofit Workplace
Changing An Organizational Culture That Eats French
Fries for Breakfast
Organizational leaders model self-care and
don’t ridicule it, ignore it, or give lip service
When employees are engaged in creating a
culture of we-care or else there will be
either a steak and scotch rebellion or
frequent self-care abusers
Not a quick fix with tactics or activities,
requires patience
Avoid Quick Fixes
Crisis Response Network:
Listen and Engage Employees to Shift the Culture
1: Functioning
Do people have what they need to do their job?
2: Feelings
Do people feel appreciated and respected?
3: Friendship
Do people feel connected to one another?
4: Forward
Do people feel like they have opportunities for growth?
5: Fulfillment
Do people feel like they are inspired and working towards a
higher purpose?
