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.
