About this event
If you or your team members could use actionable strategies from cutting-edge, scientific research about pursuing your organization’s mission without burnout, this workshop is for you! Participants will be invited to help guide session content through a pre-workshop survey. During the session, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about evidenced-based tools and frameworks and participate in experiential learning.
Session participants will:
- Gain an understanding of multidimensional wellbeing and why it can be strategically leveraged for the nonprofit workplace
- Learn the ins and outs of recovery (i.e., not working outside work time): the different types, how it impacts work outcomes, and how to use it to your and your organization's advantage
- Understand why nonprofit workers are especially prone to the recovery paradox (i.e., those who need recovery the most, do it the least) and how to prevent it
- Explore actionable steps around the 4 types of burnout and the unique strategy needed to recover from each one
The instructor will host office hours via Zoom for class participants.
