Got a Burnout Story? Let's Hear It! - with Betsy Leondar-Wright, Staffing the Mission Fund the People: A Podcast with Rusty Stahl
-
- Non-Profit
In this episode, you'll learn about some easy actions you can take to help researchers address the lack of philanthropic investment in the nonprofit workforce, and the burnout that results from that deficit of investment. Host Rusty Stahl sits down with Betsy Leondar-Wright, Project Director of Staffing the Mission. Launched in 2019, Staffing the Mission works to make life better for diverse nonprofit employees, and is a program of Class Action, a Massachusetts-based nonprofit that “inspires action to end classism and extreme inequality.” Staffing the Mission partners with Fund the People as we both seek to address poor working conditions in the nonprofit sector.
Staffing the Mission has a survey of funders in the field (in partnership with Fund the People) to understand the grantmaker perspective and role in nonprofit workforce issues. They also have an opportunity for nonprofit workers to candidly share their own burnout stories. Betsy discusses both of these important efforts in the episode.
In this episode we explore Talent-Investing Principle #3: Address the Problem, Not Just the Symptoms. To hear all 8 Principles of Talent-Investing, listen to Season 3 Episode 1.
