Wellbeing, Succession & Diversity In Scotland's Voluntary Sector Leadership
144 voluntary sector CEO’s and senior leaders, members and non members of ACOSVO filled out our Wellbeing, Succession and Diversity survey which ran from July 19th to August 23rd 2021.
Key findings from this snapshot of Scotland’s sector leaders showed a huge disparity in feelings of wellbeing within work and outside of it. 86% rated their wellbeing outside of work as ‘good’ or ‘excellent’, but this dropped by a third to 52% when in relation to work. 43% described their work wellbeing as ‘poor’, whereas only 14% gave this rating outside of work.
39% of leaders highlighted that they had felt the need to take time off for stress and burnout within the last year but didn’t feel able to do so, with an additional 13% taking the time off.
More than half of respondents (53%) said they wanted to leave their role in the next 5 years, with 71% of this group looking to leave in less than 2.
