Can I ask you a question? Does your organisation have a culture of overwork?Not intentionally. Nobody decides they want one. But on a Wednesday evening when half your team are logging back on to catch up, or on a Saturday when you’re checking your phone for messages that could have waited until Monday, the answer is often yes.In this episode, Alex explores what an overwork culture actually looks like from the inside, what it is really costing your charity, and six practical steps to start changing it.Timestamps•       0:00: Introduction•       0:30: What an overwork culture looks like from the inside•       3:00: What this is really costing the charity•       5:30: Why this happens•       7:00: Six steps to change your culture•       9:30: Key takeaway and close The six steps covered in this episode•       1.
