September 24th – “Burnout: Are You or Your Staff at Risk?” conversation led by Lori Addicks of the Larkspur Group at the Bozeman Public Library
Description: As we begin to come out of the pandemic and into the new normal, burnout is an important concern to address. 1 in 5 employees is at risk of burnout. We will examine the six causes of burnout, along with strategies for overcoming burnout. Burnout and stress frequently coexist, and neither are good for our health, well-being or productivity. We will explore strategies for managing team overload. The format of this session will be interactive and can be delivered just as effectively as a virtual or in-person experience. We will incorporate a burnout self-assessment, small group discussions and gain tools for support. Nonprofits are especially vulnerable to burnout due to staffing limitations, and high expectations from both the staff and board. Burnout is closely related to turnover which can increase the burnout factor for those who remain in the organization. It's essential to address circumstances that lead to burnout as improving in this area can positively impact retention of staff. Given that there is now a shortage of workforce, this is all the more reason to focus on retention of existing staff.
Safety Precautions: As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, One Valley will follow CDC guidelines for our programming to do our part to help keep our community safe and healthy. This month, we will be meeting in person for Nonprofit Cafe and we ask all participants to agree to the following safety precautions when joining us:
All participants must wear a mask at all times, regardless of vaccination status, unless they are actively eating or drinking.
Masks must be worn over both your mouth and nose.
If you are feeling sick at all, please do not attend.
Registration is mandatory and will be limited to 50 participants to ensure space for social distancing.
We reserve the right to transition this to a virtual training if necessary.
If you are not comfortable following the safety precautions, please take a look at the upcoming events calendar and join instead for an upcoming virtual training. Thank you!
