Nonprofit Leaders, it's time to wake up and take action!
In the latest episode of Nonprofit Lowdown, I sit down with two experts, Michelle Flores Vryn and Evan Wildstein, to dive deep into a critical issue facing our sector: nonprofit staffing struggles.
They discuss trends from their groundbreaking Social Impact Staff Retention Report, revealing that 7 out of 10 nonprofit staff are actively looking for new jobs in 2025 — a number that's still alarmingly high, and indicative of widespread burnout, insufficient support, and unrealistic workload expectations.
In this eye-opening conversation, they explore:
The true reasons behind nonprofit staff turnover (hint: it's not just about pay 💸)
How to better support your team by letting go of outdated practices and fostering growth 🔄
AI in the nonprofit sector: Can it help reduce burnout by taking over repetitive tasks? 🤖
One of the most important takeaways? Leaders need to model healthy work-life balance to retain staff and create sustainable success. 🌟
