The hummingbird is Charity Village’s logo because we strive, like the industrious hummingbird, to make connections across the nonprofit sector and help make positive change. Over this series of podcasts, we’ll explore topics that are vital to the nonprofit sector in Canada, such as diversity, equity and inclusion, mental health in the workplace, the gap in female representation in leadership, and many other subjects crucial to the sector. We’ll offer insight that will help you make sense of your life as a nonprofit professional, make connections to help navigate challenges, and support your organization to deliver on its mission.
Monthly episodes include interviews with nonprofit subject matter experts to provide a holistic discussion of the complex issues facing the nonprofit sector today.
A recent TELUS Health Mental Health Index indicates that employees experiencing workplace conflict lose up to 55 days in productivity per year. The impacts of conflict at work are clear – lost productivity, but also stress and lower mental health scores for the staff who experience it. In this episode, we explore the factors that contribute to workplace conflict, including power dynamics, racism and microaggressions, and mounting workloads, outline an organization’s legal requirements to take action, and provide some practical tips for leaders and staff to address conflict when it happens in your workplace.
