The Happy Healthy Nonprofit: Linking Self-Care and Wellbeing to Impact
This session is about how and why it is important to treat self-care and well-being as an organizational strategy and cultural norm. When self-care initiatives are treated as “extras” instead of being built right into the fabric of an organization’s culture, they are nothing more than a Band-Aid, barely disguising the underlying chronic stress and eroding the nonprofits ability to meet its mission. This session will share the latest thinking on well-being in the nonprofit workplace based on the presenter's book “The Happy Healthy Nonprofit: Strategies for Impact without Burnout.” Going beyond a narrow focus on physical health and wellness, the session will share examples and insights from nonprofits that have created and implemented a culture of well-being in the workplaces that supports results.

The document discusses building mentally healthy workplaces. It summarizes a project conducted by the Conference Board of Canada that examined perspectives of Canadian workers and front-line managers on mental health issues in the workplace. Key findings from the project include that 46% of respondents feel their employer promotes mental health, though views differ between occupational levels. While 81% of managers feel confident discussing mental health, only 29% of employees feel managers are knowledgeable about it. Most managers received little training on mental health. The document advocates for education to reduce stigma, creating a supportive culture, leadership, and training managers.
HR Insights - Mental Health Awareness in the Workplace
Muslimah Miah covered how to identify when staff may be struggling with their mental health, the consequences of ignoring mental health in the workplace and how companies can promote wellness amongst their staff.
How to Create a Culture of Organizational Well-being
To create a healthier and more productive workforce, organizations have begun to expand their traditional view of wellness programs to focus on overall employee well-being. This new view extends beyond physical health to include emotional/mental, spiritual and financial well-being. Additionally, well-being takes a “holistic” view of the employee and incorporates other elements such as social well-being that includes relationships both in and outside of the workplace.
Managing the “whole employee” means acknowledging that everyone is multidimensional and has numerous roles to balance in life — all of which affect job performance. The “whole employee” concept is also about allowing the employee to bring their “whole” self to work. This means that physical well-being is not just about offering health screenings and assessments to your employees but also making real cultural changes in the workplace that allow employees to truly shut down when they clock out at the end of the day.
In this webinar, you will learn:
What the difference is between wellness and well-being.
What role well-being plays in the engagement of an organization’s employees.
How to embed well-being into the culture of your organization.
Beth Kanter presented on linking self-care and wellbeing to impact in nonprofits. She discussed how burnout can sneak up on nonprofit professionals and provided tips for self-care, including protecting sleep, walking more, organizing phones to avoid addiction, and scheduling solo work time. Kanter emphasized that wellbeing needs to be embedded in an organization's culture through strategies like listening to employees, creating spaces for conversation, and leveraging staff champions. When implemented properly, a culture of wellbeing can benefit an organization through talent retention, reduced costs, and increased productivity.

Mindful employer program 2015 easna institute clearwaterCG Hylton Inc.
This document summarizes a presentation about supporting workplace mental health. The presentation discusses the different perspectives of managers and employees, with managers focused on tasks and customers while employees are more concerned with mental health, emotions, and personal goals. It suggests that managers could better support mental health by being more sensitive to employee needs, like a dog's sensitive sense of smell. The presentation promotes becoming a "mindful employer" through developing mindful managers, promoting mental health awareness, and eliminating stigma around seeking help. It provides resources for workshops, training champions within organizations, and supporting employees with mental illness concerns.
The document discusses how nonprofits can promote employee well-being and self-care to prevent burnout. It notes that burnout is a problem for the nonprofit sector due to demanding work and limited resources. The presentation provides a model for self-care that addresses different life domains like sleep, nutrition, movement, and mindfulness. It advocates for organizations to develop well-being strategies, encourage a supportive culture, and help employees establish self-care routines in order to engage staff and maximize impact. Case studies show how nonprofits have successfully implemented various wellness programs and activities.
Here are some tips to improve being present:
- Schedule focused work for when you have the most energy
- Limit meetings to 30 minutes as the default
- Ban electronics/multitasking from important meetings
- Protect distraction-free time on individual calendars
- Speak up if a meeting seems unfocused or you notice distractions creeping in
Assessing where your team is at with planning, people skills, priorities and being present can help identify areas to improve collaboration habits. Small changes like these tips can help your team optimize efforts and avoid burnout from too much connectivity.

• A state of wellbeing where people can reach their potential, cope with normal

• Aspects of work that harm or impair mental wellbeing are commonly referred to
as psychosocial risks, but it may be more helpful to refer to psychosocial risks
simply as risks to mental wellbeing.

• Result from a single or repeated exposure to risk(s) factors
• Impact can be mild to severe psychological disorders e.g.,
depression, anxiety

to the purpose and values of the organisation?
