Leading well paper
Description

At the end of the tumultuous year of 2020, CHS Alliance and ICVA invited 15 humanitarian leaders from among their shared members to participate in a project exploring the risks and opportunities associated with staff well-being and organisational culture. This turned into the paper, “Leading Well: Aid leader perspectives on staff well-being and organisational culture”.

In December 2020 there was a preview of the paper in the form of a webinar organised together with ICVA, CHS Alliance and PHAP. For further education on the topic, you can and listen to the recording which discusses several themes from the paper.

This is a collaboration between ICVA and CHS Alliance and it aims to add to the ongoing discussion on staff well-being in the humanitarian space and to provoke necessary discussion on how we can evolve – as individuals, organisations, and a system – trying to meet the needs of people in crisis.
