A survey of 1,116 employees at non-profit organizations across Canada indicates more than one-third of workers regularly feel burnt out and exhausted.
The Changemaker Wellbeing Index says 36 per cent of workers said they were struggling with issues such as anxiety, poor job satisfaction and insufficient household incomes.
The survey was conducted between Feb. 21 and March 14 by Toronto-based Environics Research on behalf of media company Future of Good.
Thirty-four per cent of respondents at community non-profits said they were food insecure, and 20 per cent said they were likely to quit in the next six months.
