Not For Profit Organizations - HR & Culture

Not for profit organizations have different HR considerations. In part, their employee tend to be incredibly passionate about the organization's purpose. They'll often sacrifice their own well-being in service of it. And in many cases, they're expected to do it. Dimple Dhabalia, a lawyer, humanitarian and this week's guest, has a powerful story about what she learned after years of humanitarian service around the world. She burned out, but instead of doing what the rest of us would do, she wrote a book. Her book is called "Tell Me My Story: Challenging the Narrative of Service Before Self." For anyone working in service of people, there is a lot to learn from this thought-provoking conversation about unique consideration of doing HR in NFPs. For example: ❣️ "Being human is messy. And serving humanity is even messier." ❣️ Systems and culture drive employees to put the organization and their humanitarian service ahead of themselves. ❣️ It isn't all on the organization. Change starts with individuals. ❣️ Ultimately, individuals and organizations have to change together. ❣️ We (and especially women) are taught to give, give, give and that will only take us so far.
