According to a recent study conducted by YMCA WorkWell, turnover and staffing shortages are increasingly burdening nonprofits in Canada. Of the 682 responses to their survey, 34% were either expecting to leave or open to leaving their current role in the next six months – that has increased 36% from the responses to their 2021 Workplace Well-Being Report.

Front-line staff (36%), managers (34%), directors (32%), and executives (33%) all followed a similar trend: 1 in 3 are considering leaving their role. Worryingly, 65% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that their workload has been a significant source of stress in the last three months and 76% of respondents reported that they have experienced burnout at least “sometimes” in the last three months – with 45% of respondents reported that they have experienced burnout “often” or “extremely often”.
