Employees also will be affected by systemic forces differently and therefore will result in a different work experience across the board. For example, the systemic racism that Black employees face impacts every aspect of work life. These employees are forced to work in less equitable spaces, due to the failure of leadership to realistically consider their concerns around inequity and marginalization.
A culture of empathy is a result of benefits and practices that value each employee for who they are, and that lets them know their well-being and quality of life truly matter to the organization. There is no quick fix — for empathy to make an impact, it must be thorough and authentic. Empathy is essential for employers in their attempts to create a positive and productive workplace environment. It can be the differentiating factor that motivates, unites, and connects people within an organization. By creating an inclusive, just and belonging environment, organizations can foster empathy that motivates and retains employees.
We believe that institutions must prioritize time and strategic use of resources in order to advance equity and close disparities. We partner with nonprofits to identify and prioritize areas necessary to contribute in accomplishing a collective vision, and we work in relationships to achieve lasting impact. The future of philanthropy has community at its center and is actively modeling empathy, equity and inclusion where collective wisdom is honored, and community knowledge is utilized. We also partner with Foundation leaders to fund critical initiatives and organizations to develop strategies and improve their effectiveness and impact through social change goals. A culture of Philanthropy establishes the shared expectations and systems needed to put talents to work for fundraising. We will empower your staff, volunteers and board to engage in your organization every year. Organizations that operate with a culture of philanthropy understand the value of organizational culture and the importance of philanthropy.
