Cons
Some staff bring their personal politics into the workplace, which can create confusion about the Institute’s nonpartisan mission. the Institute can do a better job setting expectations and supporting employees in separating their personal political beliefs from the work so that everyone shows up professionally and aligned with the organization’s role and purpose.
