How to sustain performance in life-saving work.
WHO Foundation
“Our people really stretch for the mission”
Shifting priorities. Reallocated workloads. Political uncertainty arriving overnight. The WHO Foundation’s team was absorbing all of it.
The foundation raises funds for global health and its people are mission-driven. So they stretch.
“There was this critical moment when we realised: something had to be done,” reflects Parul Panday, Chief People Officer of the WHO Foundation.
The WHO Foundation partnered with Hintsa. The objective: give individuals practical tools to manage stress, find their optimal performance mode, and protect mental recovery. So they can sustain both themselves and their life-saving work.

Building resilience for mission-critical work.
When the mission is saving lives,
…sustaining the people doing that work isn’t optional – it’s essential.
Today, the WHO Foundation has built recovery and wellbeing into the rhythm of their work. Managers are trained and individuals are encouraged to collaborate and take breaks after high-intensity periods. The focus has evolved from just high performance to sustained high performance.
“We can’t always plan for when pressure is going to appear,” says Victoria Perrin, Development Officer at WHOF. “What the programme has helped me understand is that there are a lot of tools that we can apply along the way.”
Panday summarises, “Individual care is an input to reach high targets. It’s not something separate.”
Let’s talk.
We help teams perform under pressure and sustain their impact, long term.
