Tune in to hear from Warren Duncan from People Incorporated Training Insititute, and Laurel Hansen, MACC's Program Manager. In this episode they discuss the burnout, compassion fatigue, and mental health challenges that nonprofit staff face, especially in uncertain times with limited resources. Duncan speaks on how organizations can better support staff by implementing psychological safety, normalizing conversations around stress, and addressing increased burnout due to poor communication or toxic work culture. He emphasizes the importance of naming and addressing emotional strain stating, “name it to tame it," to build trust with teams and strategies for balance. Prioritizing well-being and open communication allows individuals and organizations to remain resilient, effective, and committed to their mission.
