As humanitarians unfortunately we are likely to have experienced burnout at one time or another. And it was just this experience that inspired today's guest Dr. Gemma Houldey to do a thesis on the same - a look at the systemic issues in the aid world causing burnout.
As part of a way organizations can address the burnout of national and international staff, Dr. Gemma has also published a book (see resources section below) which provides practical ways we as leaders can help address it.
In this episode we cover:
- How we are all responsible for creating culture of wellbeing
- The importance of brave spaces over safe spaces
- How to Bring our human-ness back into the workplace
- The importance of bringing rituals to the workplace and how you can do so as a leader
- The importance as a leader of having a support section (like an accountability partner)
- And more!
