Before you start, gather

Describe the general work in [TYPE OF WORK] and the real limits in [BUDGET AND TIME LIMITS]. Use no one's health or leave information. Afterward, ask staff in an anonymous survey what would help.

Starter prompt

Draft a staff wellbeing and burnout-prevention plan for a nonprofit team that does [TYPE OF WORK]. Constraints: [BUDGET AND TIME LIMITS]. Suggest low-cost practices, workload ideas, ways to give recognition, support after hard events, and how leaders can model healthy habits. Do not give medical or mental-health advice, and do not assume we offer any benefit or service; write CHECK BENEFITS instead of guessing. Include ways to ask staff what would help.

Paste the prompt into your AI tool first, then replace the placeholders with your own details. Don't use real names of clients or donors.

You are leaving this guide. Copy the prompt first, then open a tool. The link goes to the website of the company named on each link, in a new tab. That company's terms and privacy policy apply there. Paste the prompt in, then replace the placeholders with your own details. Don't enter real names or confidential details.

Check the result

Ask your staff what they actually need, and don't treat the plan as a replacement for professional support.

What it might get wrong

A counseling service, perk or paid-time-off benefit your organization does not offer. Clinical-sounding advice about stress. Ideas that add work for an already stretched team.
