Nonprofit leaders dealt with unexpected challenges during 2020 and 2021. Systems and people were more in need, and many women who work on the nonprofit front lines answered the call. The work didn't stop just because there was a global health crisis taking place. Instead, it highlighted many of the social and economic disparities that communities, communities of color, women of color, and children face daily. However, there is a gap in services and monetary compensation, creating disparities in access and pay equity. However, that can change when people advocate and demand more for themselves and others.
Our guest, Beda Gamboa, a clinical social worker, shares her own experience of demanding more for her clients and herself. Through Beda's efforts, she helped expand the availability of telehealth services to ensure that people did not fall through the cracks of the healthcare system. Beda also shares how she fought for compensation for herself and other workers and how she could reframe the way she approached her thinking around compensation.
In this episode, we talked about:
-
What it was like to lead through a global health crisis
-
Different ways to bridge women's pay gap, including monetary compensation
-
How to leverage your work and experience to get a raise
