  Supporting Mental Health for Campaign Workers

  Sep 29, 202636 min

  Why are organizations overlooking the mental health of their greatest assets? Political campaigns, much like other advocacy and caregiving professions, attract a certain type of person: hard-working, dedicated to the cause, and highly empathetic. Unfortunately, the willingness of this deep-feeling population to run themselves into the ground for the cause is all too often taken advantage of, and their wellbeing is consistently undersupported.  In this episode, I speak with the founder of Mind the Movement, a non-profit that raises awareness for and develops mental health benefits for campaigns and other underserved initiatives. Ashley Williams shares her refreshingly practical take on what’s missing and what’s needed to help these essential organizers stay well and return to fight the good fight another day. Discover how organizers and employees alike can start prioritizing their mental health: The business argument for caring about the wellbeing of short-term staff; What a psychologically safe workplace looks like; The link between caring deeply and campaigning; How to manage the constant overwhelm that’s become our new normal.

  How do you know if you’re on the right financial track for retirement?

  What Deloitte and Zoom’s Recent Benefits Cuts Tell Women About Their Worth

  Jul 7, 202617 min

  What do uneven benefits changes from mega corporations tell us about how these workplaces value women? In the past few months, both Deloitte and Zoom have publicly announced significant changes to particular portions of their employee benefits packages. These adjustments amount to telling certain employees (mostly women) that they matter less than others. By slashing paid family and medical leave and paid time off for “support roles,” Deloitte is effectively hamstringing the predominantly female portion of their staff - those workers in positions like finance, admin, and HR (and the changes also impact IT and marketing). Comparatively, they confirmed that no deductions will befall employees in client-facing positions. In this episode, I break down what companies are saying when they curb vital childcare and parental benefits for the portion of their workforce that shoulders the bulk of caregiving responsibilities. Learn more about this “gender-scrubbing” form of sexism that perpetuates workplace inequity, including: How companies use language to erase women from the narrative; The dangerous precedent that a change like this sets; Why not all two-tier benefit structures are made equal; Four steps you can take to make your voice heard.
