Wellbeing is a big topic of the humanitarian world these days, and rightfully so. I mean, why is it an organization which specializes in helping people find it so difficult to help its own staff? My guest today, Melissa Pitotti, has some answers. And they may not all be what you think. Melissa works for the Core Humanitarian Standards Alliance (CHS Alliance). She recently helped conduct a research study called "Leading Well" which brought together 15 CEO's of humanitarian organizations to ask this question - what is preventing aid organizations from creating cultures of wellbeing and better work-life balance? In this episode she shares the results from the study, and some practical tips you can apply to help your team and your own organization move closer to a healthy work culture.
