Lead your organization away from burnout to better results!
The Happy, Healthy Nonprofit presents practical strategies for nonprofit professionals looking to maximize productivity and achieve mission-based outcomes. Expert authors Beth Kanter and Aliza Sherman offer an essential guide.
Nonprofits are driven to do more, more, more, often with fewer and fewer resources; there comes a breaking point where passion wanes under the weight of pressure, and work suffers as a result. Revamp your organization to foster more energy, vibrancy and resilience by putting wellbeing at the heart of your work.
- Find cultural and behavioral pain points that cause burnout
- Achieve better results with attention to wellbeing
- Redefine your organizational culture, and
- Establish systems and processes that transform your organization
At its core, a nonprofit is driven by mission, but an organization’s people are mission-critical. The Happy, Healthy Nonprofit provides a blueprint for sustainable culture change by focusing on the overall wellbeing of your organization to make a lasting impact.
