Have you ever had to carry out an action that felt fundamentally wrong in your work? Have you had to make a hard decision that went against your core values or beliefs? Have you witnessed deep harm happen that made you feel guilt or shame, and yet you were powerless to respond? You have likely experienced a moral injury at work.
In this webinar, Dr. Johnanna Ganz takes a deep dive into the key concepts of moral distress and moral injury, with a focus on what it is and how it can show up in mission-driven environments. Explore how moral distress and injury impact career sustainability and learn strategies on how to navigate the hard, the ugly, and the painful as well as naming your personal signs that it is time to leave the work.
Participants will be able to:
- Define and describe the concepts of moral distress and moral injury
- Explain how moral distress and injury decrease employee wellbeing and career sustainability in mission-driven work
- Spend at least 20 minutes applying concepts and developing 1-2 personal strategies for managing moral distress and injury at work
