Webinar: Protecting the People Behind the Mission: What New Data Reveals About Workplace Mental Health in Nonprofits
Nonprofit leaders are managing rising burnout and turnover risk—often without the systems to support workforce wellbeing. Drawing on One Mind's Mental Health at Work Index™, which benchmarked 31 small, mission-driven nonprofits, this conversation unpacks a striking pattern: nonprofits show stronger leadership commitment and manager support than other sectors, yet lag far behind on strategy and measurement.
In this moderated conversation, Bridgespan’s Margaret Boasberg speaks with Kathleen M. Pike, PhD, CEO of One Mind at Work, about what the data reveals and what leaders can do next. Topics include:
- Why 7 in 10 nonprofit leaders prioritize mental health, but only 6% have a formal strategy
- How strong manager relationships can become a foundation for more sustainable systems
- Why organizations with active leadership support see less than half the voluntary turnover of those without it
- Practical, low-cost steps small nonprofits can take without adding administrative burden
Participants will leave with concrete, right-sized actions to establish cultural practices that protect and promote mental health, reduce burnout risk, and build the infrastructure needed to sustain their teams—and their missions—over time.
Designed for nonprofit CEOs, senior leaders, and funders interested in workforce sustainability.
