I was a big proponent on mental health days even before the past two years happened. And now that we know from October’s “Stress in America” survey that work is a very/somewhat significant source of stress for 66% of those surveyed, it’s time to revisit this idea. First off, mental health days are not for you to avoid your boss after you made a mistake or just don’t feel like listening to your co-workers.

I've been doing LOTS of trainings in the last few months. And getting a lot of the same types of questions. They generally sound like: "How do I know when a right time to ask so-and-so?".

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards.

When donors make a gift, the donation receipt is one of the first things they will see, and it will set the tone for how they feel about having made the gift. Donor stewardship is extremely important for your non-profit.
