Burnout has been a hot topic for the past few years in the nonprofit industry, with many workers and volunteers reporting they feel ‘used up’ despite the gratification of their work. Burnout impacts physical, emotional, and mental well-being following extended periods of stress, and if that doesn’t describe Giving Season, nothing does!
Burnout has an enormous impact on performance and the quality of program delivery and is often a major contributing factor to losing committed team members who feel overwhelmed and lose enthusiasm at work, and in their personal life. Your team is your most precious resource, so take 5 minutes and try our tactics to get you to your Giving Season goals intact, in tune, and ready to tackle a new year with the team you trust, and support!
