The article addresses the impacts of federal and nonprofit sector budget cuts on employee well-being and organizational success. The author reflects on their personal experiences with layoffs and the emotional toll they take. They emphasize that success should not solely be measured by revenue and productivity, but must also consider the well-being of employees. With only 21% of employees believing their organization cares about them, the author advocates for integrating well-being into performance metrics, as demonstrated at Catapult Design, to enhance the overall effectiveness and moral standing of organizations.
"While I agree that there are inefficiencies in every bureaucracy and organization, leaders have a responsibility to balance financial performance with other measures of success."
"At Catapult Design, a social impact design firm, we've made well-being a non-negotiable metric-on equal footing with financial performance and creative excellence."
