联盟调查的一半以上的受访者报告说,自COVID-19 19开始,组织中人们的心理健康和福祉一直在恶化。

这是联盟年度调查的主要发现之一,今天在Alliance关于健康慈善事业的新问题之前发表了研究,该问题研究了大流行对慈善部门的影响。

The survey, which collected 250 responses from philanthropy professionals and practitioners in 59 countries, also highlighted more appetite for collaboration, a greater willingness to provide unrestricted funding and a view that the Covid-19 pandemic has made philanthropy more relevant than ever to addressing society’s problems.

但是,对部门领导者可能特别关注的心理健康行程的担忧。自从Covid-19发作以来,当被问及“您组织中的人们的心理健康和福祉是否变得更糟,保持不变或改善”时,有58%的受访者报告了心理健康的下降。

一名受访者说:“当然,员工承受着不可持续的压力”。

In a comment to Alliance after reviewing the survey findings, the Center for Effective Philanthropy President Phil Buchanan said: ‘The mental health challenges related to the anxiety, grief, and uncertainty of the pandemic and related crises are huge and deserve the attention of every organisational leader. It’s important for leaders to create spaces for staff to connect and share worries, to continually remind staff of resources for those who need professional help, and to acknowledge the challenges by being vulnerable themselves. Finally, it’s crucial to pay special attention to those who may be especially impacted by the crises of 2020, including staff of colour, parents, those caring for elderly family, those who are immunocompromised, and the list goes on. If ever there was a time for leaders and managers to offer flexibility and show people compassion, it is now.’
