Leading During a Period of Emotional Exhaustion

June 29, 2022 • 12:00pm - 1:00pm ET/in Webinar 2022

The challenge is real. 42% of global employees have experienced a decline in their emotional well-being since the start of the pandemic. So many are feeling immense psychological and emotional fatigue given the continued challenges with COVID-19 combined with horrible events unfolding across the globe. Sadness, frustration, and loneliness, are becoming common emotions that many are now living with daily. Leading during this time can be especially tricky for people leaders who have to manage for positive outcomes. Knowing that a staff member may be struggling and not being comfortable approaching them can be both frustrating and negatively impact an entire team and compromise performance.

People leaders are the face of the organization. They can set the tone for their team. It is so important that our people leaders are supported and trained so that they cultivate trust and feel comfortable initiating conversations compassionately and can confidently bridge their people to available support.

This webinar will focus on:
• 3 ways we can preserve our emotional well-being every day.
• What we can all do to help normalize the mental health conversation in our workplace.
• How leaders can safely support an employee that they sense may be struggling.
• How leaders can foster more balance for their team members while meeting business goals.
