May is National Mental Health Month and as the Great Resignation continues with more and more Americans transitioning out of unsatisfying work situations, we couldn’t help but think about how important a healthy work environment is to overall mental wellness.

Just this week, we had a company-wide training about meetings. From the research we’ve done, meetings are a source of frustration for most of the population. As a matter of fact, in just the last 20 short months, the number of meetings in the general world of business increased by nearly 70 percent. Who's got time for that? Not us, that’s for sure! Did you know, on average, meetings cost about $50 per hour per person? That adds up to an estimated $37 billion lost each year as a result of unproductive meetings. 

Are you in the same boat, meeting-wise? Read on to see how we’re planning to spend less time around the virtual conference table and instead, make the meetings we do have more effective and productive.

At Fundriver, everything we do is designed to help our non-profit clients steward their funds accurately and efficiently.  Our creative software solutions bridge finance and fundraising seamlessly. 

So, how do we do it?  

We have a few tricks up our sleeves...

As I try to explain to my friends and family why I love working for Fundriver, the phrase that seems to best capture my sentiment is this: “I am able to be my authentic self.” 

If you have been following our blog, you’re likely familiar with aspects of our company culture and have seen our core values:

This is our 16th year in business.  It feels like Fundriver has been in a continuous growth pattern, growing our product, our client base, and our team.  What a wonderful evolution to be part of!  So, where are we now?  Glad you asked!

It’s not about the award 

This year especially, TinyPulse has helped us shape our pandemic response. And the feedback we gathered was certainly not always positive. But it was feedback that helped us learn about where people’s pain points are, what they expect from leadership, what is important to them moving forward, and how Fundriver can help every step of the way.  Read more about part II of this series here!

What did we need to do, as a company, to be able to take care of ourselves so that we could be there for our clients, who were struggling with this new world too?  Read more about part I of this series here!
