In 2024, it is estimated that nearly 300 million people will need humanitarian aid - that's 4% of the world's human population (ReliefWeb 2024). The United Nations stated that 2023 was the deadliest year on record for humanitarian workers, with 2024 on track to be even worse. These facts are difficult to hear, but the reality is that the world is failing humanitarian workers, and by extension the people and communities they serve. Today, on World Humanitarian Day, we pause to honour the remarkable individuals who dedicate their lives to helping others. This day also serves as a reminder of those who have lost their lives whilst working to make the world a better place. At NKD we wish to commemorate these humanitarians and support humanitarian causes that are close to our hearts. ❤️ We'd love to encourage our network to look out for grassroots and international humanitarian organisations you can support that are making a difference on the ground for the people they serve. You can also head to the United Nations link below to understand the history of World Humanitarian Day and the realities faced by humanitarians and the civilians they serve. https://lnkd.in/djSW2Dd #ActForHumanity #WorldHumanitarianDay

You might have heard of #QuietQuitting – the social media trend encouraging people to do only what’s needed to get by at work. Whatever you think of the trend, poor employee engagement is damaging to individual wellbeing and company bottom-line, and it’s at an all time high. According to recent Gallup data 85% of employees are either ‘not engaged’ or actively ‘disengaged’ in their job. So how can companies re-engage their employees and get them feeling inspired and motivated every day? 💼✨ Check out our new blog for more. https://lnkd.in/gBeWSxuK
