Beth Kanter discusses the importance of self-care and well-being for nonprofit professionals and organizations. She explains that burnout is a serious problem in the nonprofit sector due to high demands and lack of resources. Creating a culture of well-being requires leadership commitment, employee engagement, and changing organizational practices and policies over time, not just quick fixes. When nonprofits prioritize self-care and culture change, it can help attract and retain top talent while also improving productivity and impact.
