STAFF CARE & WELLBEING

Providing customized services and practical guidance to help Humanitarian Organizations strengthen, support and care for your greatest assets – your PEOPLE!

In recent years, the importance of providing a healthy, nurturing work environment has become more and more clear – not just in humanitarian work, but across all industries. Aside from obligations for duty of care, how an organization supports its people is a significant determinant of how successful and sustainable that organization will be.

Particularly in our post-pandemic world, staff care culture is essential in attracting, recruiting and retaining high-quality talent. Having a strong staff care culture increases productivity and effectiveness while reducing physical and emotional health care costs, absenteeism, turnover, and legal risk. For Humanitarian Organizations, this is especially important as staff are regularly asked to take risks and make sacrifices, often with an increased likelihood of being exposed to potentially harmful situations. Having a well-aligned and thought-through organizational Staff Care & Wellbeing plan and effectively implementing it, is crucial for the wellbeing of the individuals, and the organization.

KRC coaches can help you design customized staff care & wellbeing goals and processes to meet your organization’s specific needs, context, operational modalities and unique personality. While consultancy terms will be developed collaboratively with you, some common aspects of this work include:
