This interactive workshop--led by by Staffing the Mission facilitators Betsy Leondar-Wright and Mariah Casias--will present practical strategies for philanthropic and nonprofit organizations to enhance job quality, based on recommendations from three sections of the Sustainable Jobs Toolkit:

Participants will share their understandings of burnout conditions to avoid, and will leave with concrete next steps for improving employee experience at their own nonprofit organization or for their grantees.
