SUMMARY:Creating Brain-Friendly Environments: The Key to a Strong Workforce
DESCRIPTION:Register Now				\n							\n		Recent reports from the National Council of Nonprofits and the Center for an Urban Future highlight the scale of the human services staffing crisis. A significant portion of nonprofits report job vacancies\, with some estimates as high as 74.6%. This is fueled by high levels of stress and burnout—over half of respondents cited it as a key contributing factor. As leaders\, what can we do about this? \nJoin Social Current’s experts in brain science and trauma-informed approaches for this free webinar that will offer insight into this pressing question. We will focus on how to move beyond top-down\, employee recognition and self-care initiatives to authentically partner with staff to improve engagement\, equity\, communication\, resilience\, and retention. This requires empathy\, connection\, inclusivity\, mindfulness\, and gratitude from us as leaders. \nWhile this is a lot to prioritize\, the good news is there is a simple\, foundational framework that underpins all these topics—our brain and stress response system. Understanding this is the key to creating brain-friendly work environments. \nThis session will explore concepts and strategies for aligning workplace environments with how the brain thrives. By embracing this orientation\, organizations can cultivate a culture where employees can more easily plan\, adapt\, and innovate—increasing both personal and organizational success. \nTakeaways\n\nFoundational brain science concepts and how they can be applied to human services workplaces\nPractical\, research-backed strategies to foster executive functioning\, psychological safety\, and self-regulation\nGuidance for setting healthy expectations that promote adaptability\, collaboration\, and well-being\n\nWho Should Participate\nSocial Current is excited to invite all Network Champion members\, as well as anyone interested in this topic. \n	\n\n					\n\n										\n		\n	\n\n\n	\n				\n			\n				Presenters\n			\n		\n		\n					\n\n									\n					\n						\n															\n													\n							\n								Karen Johnson\n								\n																	Senior Director of Change in Mind\nSocial Current \n								\n								\n							\n						\n					\n\n									\n					\n						\n															\n													\n							\n								Kelly Martin\n								\n																	Director of Practice Excellence\nSocial Current
