Foundational Workshop Series

Social service organizations are experiencing high rates of burnout and turnover. This would be concerning in any workplace environment, but for those individuals directly serving their communities and tasked with ensuring the health and safety of those they assist and teach, it is even more important that we turn this trend around for the health of the staff, the organizations, and their constituents.

Burnout doesn’t just impact the employee; it affects the entire workplace. It leads to absenteeism and low productivity, and it most certainly makes it more difficult for care staff to fill the cups of their community when they are running on empty cups themselves. Plus, burned-out employees are nearly three times more likely to be looking for another job. This turnover makes it more challenging to provide the services that an NPO’s constituents depend on it for. 

Our Foundational Workshop Series is a four-session program that covers the foundational pillars of La Maida Project’s ecological approach to health and accessible, actionable steps for implementation, both as an individual and a group. Designed to address the critical issues facing social service organizations today, we help to create healthier, more sustainable environments where people can succeed, stay engaged, and connect with their purpose through their work.
