Your team’s wellbeing isn’t a nice-to-have — it’s the foundation of impact.
That’s why we’ve created the Changemaker Wellbeing Series — a year-long membership experience helping social impact teams prevent burnout, build balance, and strengthen connection.
Based on the most comprehensive and representative research on the wellbeing of non-profit workers ever conducted in Canada — the Changemaker Wellbeing Index — this series turns real changemaker survey data into practical tools, shared learning, and real change.
Building on the 2025 Changemaker Wellbeing Index, What Makes Good Work? People Practices to Create Better Jobs in Non-profits highlights gaps and guides action to improve how employees feel about their jobs. It takes a closer look at how core HR practices (onboarding, performance feedback, pay transparency, salary reviews and equity policies) shape job satisfaction, wellbeing and workplace confidence.
Over half of non-profit workers have access to only three or fewer basic HR practices. This gap isn’t just about compliance. It also impacts how valued and supported employees feel. Workers in organizations with limited HR support report nearly twice the job dissatisfaction as those with all five core practices in place.
