2020 has been a hard year for many workplace teams. Stress levels are higher than ever before, and the pressure to do more with less is weighing heavy on most employees.
Boundaries need to be set within nonprofit teams to prevent burnout and compassion fatigue, but this is difficult to do when there’s so much work that needs to be done, and so little time in which to do it.
If you’re feeling this way, you’re not alone. There are things you can do to support your mental well-being and that of your colleagues, no matter which role you play in your organization.
This webinar with Workplace Mental Health Consultant Brandy Payne covered concrete, actionable strategies to address the three most common factors that impact our mental well-being at work. The session discussed:
Workload management and prioritizing tasks when time is limited
Balancing work and the rest of your life - even when it seems impossible to do.
Navigating changes in the workplace during uncertain times.
From this webinar, participants gained tips and strategies to support themselves and those they work with. Workplace Mental Health is a shared responsibility, and this webinar was intended to help you better understand what managers – and all staff – can do to navigate these times.
