MLK Community Health Foundation ’s Post

As we begin to celebrate the holiday season and we exit Giving Tuesday, let’s consider constantly keeping our non-profits top of mind as we decide where our corporate investments can make a difference. Adding a strategy to invest in your community has a direct affect on your employees, their families and their friends. A stronger sense of community drives better education and a caring for your neighbors and their well being. Helping build community where your employees live and raise their families directly affects productivity and quality of work for you! One of the largest effects on employee engagement is what your people have to deal with outside of your work. A better life outside of work allows focus and creativity. Not to mention, you are building the next generation of great people for the next stage of your company growth. This is not a new investment. I take pride in helping companies drive top line revenue, expand margins and free up capital to invest back into your company AND your community. The pay-off is bigger than you may realize.

📣 I've been to A LOT of HR conferences and have A LOT of feelings about content and experience (surprising to no one). The Maine HR Convention has some of the best content I've seen to date. This morning's keynote was nothing short of inspiring. No joke, I teared up a few times. The keynote featured 3 young leaders who are trying to make positive changes within their communities. They've founded nonprofits, worked on projects to help the unhoused, and advocated for those who experienced childhood abuse. 🕷 2 were even featured on Marvel's Hero Project! They talked about what inspired them to get involved in their communities at an early age (one started his nonprofit at the age of 8!!), how to best work with younger talent, and what advice they have for HR. Some of my favorite things they shared that can serve as powerful reminders for HR folks: ✨ Aubrey shared: Stay curious about the potential your ideas may have. ✨ Jakil shared: Start small and figure out what adjustments you need to make before you go big. ✨ Elijah shared: Remember why you are involved in this work. Shoutout to the amazing Michelle Anderson who moderated this session! #MEHRC24

Our October recap begins with an event we attended in 2023, 2024, and hopefully in 2025 too. Annually a local nonprofit, Foundation for Health Leadership & Innovation (FHLI) hosts the Bernstein Event. It honors an individual, Jim who challenged the current design of health (back in the 1980s) and actively became part of a solution to become better. It’s also a time to celebrate the latest Jim Bernstein Fellows in their journey. This annual gathering unites community health leaders, public officials, and grassroots advocates to build connections, celebrate successes, and strategize for the future. CuraHuman enjoys attending because it gives a more holistic approach to caring for humans in the workplace. Well-Being is now being intentionally integrated within the business model. Innovation takes discipline, intention, and consistency. Our owner always seeks mission alignment when engaging in community. As a woman, woman of color, and person with a disability she has personal lived experience of inequitable patient care. We support any organization that prioritizes social drivers of health to dismantle inequitable systems. It has been a joy to have worked with this organization over the past year to set up their Human Resources function. They have embraced a modern HR as a business partner. They also elevated their own leadership through coaching and growth. The staff at FHLI are creating systems level change that will ultimately improve the workplace for all, because a healthier workforce is a more authentic one! On the last day of 2024 we celebrate the success of prioritizing whole person care in our own business and in community. P.S. We love a comfortable romper and the Friday Center! #HealthEquity #WellnessStrategy #BersteinEvent2024 #HealthAccess #EmbraceBeingHuman #WholePersonCare #SelfLeadership #NonprofitLeadership #Innovation #NonprofitThoughtLeader #ExistFully #HumanExperience #LeadershipDevelopment #HRCoaching #LeadershipCoaching #AuthenticLeadership #DisabilityOwned #MinorityOwned #WomanOwned #LightkeeperLeadershipCuration #ChoicenessCelestialCoach #ChoicenessCoach #CureYourHuman #ExquisiteBeing #ReactivateChoiceness #CoachingHuman

Nonprofits can better support employees by clear communication of their mission and vision, engage in professional development, empowerment, recognition, collaborative culture, fair compensation, wellness initiatives, feedback, learning from failures, and leading by example. Implementing these strategies can engage, motivate, and retain employees, ultimately furthering the nonprofit's mission and impact.

It's a fact – 94% of people who volunteer feel a major improvement in their mood. If your teams are happy, they're more than likely to stay with your organization. Make it easy for your employees to give back to the community and you'll see retention rise like never before.

After YEARS of struggling to get on top of disengaged and disgruntled employees with their endless gossip, negativity and complaints...my client changed ONE thing as a leader of her team, and now the toxic and difficult people are gone, leaving a high performing team who are happy, committed and working hard each day. 4 months ago I ran the Company's Employee Engagement Survey, and after learning what the underlying issues were, I developed a strategy that turned everything around for my client in less than a month. If you want to get to the bottom of things at work, and communicate better to achieve your business goals and objectives, DM me to discuss how I can support you. #hrexpert #employeeengagement #employeeengagementsurvey #employee #hrsupportireland #hrguidance #charity #charitysector #charityhr #executivecoaching #executivecoach #melissastonecareercoach #careersuccess #businessgoals #corporate #corporategoals
