Support the People Behind the Mission

Your staff shows up every day for people in crisis. A workplace wellness strategy built for the health and social services sector can help them sustain that work without burning out in the process.

The emotional demands of serving vulnerable communities are unlike those in most other fields. The work is meaningful AND it takes a real toll:

• 95% of nonprofit leaders are concerned about employee burnout and half are more concerned than they were just a year ago. (Center for Effective Philanthropy, 2024)
• About 50% of nonprofit employees experience high levels of burnout. (Center for Effective Philanthropy)
• Nonprofit turnover runs at 19% compared to 12% across other sectors and burnout is the primary driver. (SHRM)
• Nonprofit burnout and turnover surpass all national industries, particularly in the social services subsector.

Your team is your mission. Protecting their wellbeing is a strategic priority.

Every organization is different, and the health and social services sector has unique demands that generic wellness programs simply don't address. With over 35 years in the sector and nearly a decade of workplace wellness experience, I bring both the expertise and the insider understanding to design something that actually works for your team -- from frontline workers to leadership.

I will partner with you to:

• Identify the goals, challenges, and outcomes you want to achieve
• Conduct a wellness assessment through employee surveys and/or interviews
• Provide a report with recommendations tailored to your organization
• Support you with an implementation and evaluation plan

Looking for a structured employee wellbeing program? I designed and developed the Employee Wellbeing Program, which is a 7-module curriculum built specifically for the health and social services sector. This program is now available at no cost to eligible organizations through a partnership with Worksite Wellness LA. Email me at luz@live-workwell.com to find out if your organization qualifies.
