Limited resources often strain their ability to meet the demands of inclusivity in hiring practices, exacerbating stress and burnout among their teams. Leaders in these organizations play a crucial role in promoting healthy work environments, yet the pressures they face can compromise their decision-making and overall well-being.
To address these issues, there is a pressing need to integrate mental health training that supports self-care, emotional regulation, and internal support mechanisms. This holistic approach is essential as workplaces increasingly recognize the importance of nurturing empathetic and inclusive environments that enable teams to thrive amidst diverse social, economic, and financial stressors faced by vulnerable groups.
